Fantastic original color vintage glossy 3.5 x 5 candid photo of the Beatles, dated June 1964, with fill-in drummer Jimmie Nicol, at a Hong Kong press conference, signed on the reverse in black ballpoint, “Best wishes Jimmie Nicol,” “Paul McCartney,” “John Lennon,” and “George Harrison.” A bit of scattered light toning, creasing, and soiling to reverse, and some scattered light crazing and creasing to image side, as well as impressions from signatures on reverse, otherwise fine condition. Accompanied by a letter of provenance from the nephew of the original recipient, stating the photo “was given to me by my late uncle who was a member of the Hong Kong police…he obtained their autographs when he was assigned to guard them.” Nicol replaced Ringo Starr from June 3–15, 1964, at the start of the Beatles’ World Tour, while Ringo was suffering from tonsillitis and pharyngitis. An extremely rare piece, as Nicol was with the Beatles for slightly more than a week.
