The Beatles and Manager Brian Epstein Autograph Display (1964)....

Description

The Beatles and Manager Brian Epstein Autograph Display (1964). An Automobile Association envelope signed on the reverse in blue ink by John, Paul George, Ringo, band manager Brian Epstein, and BBC broadcaster David Jacobs, obtained July 10, 1964 at the Northern England premiere of the band's motion picture debut, "A Hard Day's Night". A highly desirable piece, since items autographed by the band after 1963 are difficult to find, and items signed after 1969 extremely scarce. The signatures from Epstein and Jacobs are a plus. The envelope exhibits some areas of discoloration and creasing, none of which detracts from a great set of bold and unfaded signatures. Matted along with a reproduction of a ticket to the screening and a b&w 8" x 10" photo of the band arriving at Liverpool airport. Display: 15" x 18"
