INCREDIBLE FULLY SIGNED BEATLES GLOSSY PHOTOGRAPH! FULLY SIGNED GLOSSY PHOTOS ARE AMONG THE RAREST AND MOST DEMANDED OF ALL BEATLES SIGNED ITEMS AND THIS ONE IS AMONG THE BEST THERE IS! COMES WITH A COA FROM FRANK CAIAZZO! I CAN COUNT ON MY HAND HOW MANY TRULY BEAUTIFUL AUTHENTIC ORIGINAL BEATLES SIGNED AUTOGRAPHS I'VE HAD IN MY 38+ YEARS IN THE FIELD! THIS EXAMPLE IS AMONG THAT ELITE NUMBER! THIS IS AN ABSOLUTELY AUTHENTIC ORIGINAL 6" X 8" GLOSSY 1963 PHOTOGRAPH TAKEN BY PERHAPS ...THE MOST FAMOUS OF ALL BEATLES PHOTOGRAPHERS, MR. DEZO HOFFMAN! THIS ONE WAS SIGNED IN DARK BLUE MATCHING BALLPOINT PEN BY ALL FOUR MEMBERS OF THE BAND! WHAT A CLASSIC IMAGE OF THE BAND THIS ONE IS TAKEN APPROPRIATELY IN LONDON OF COURSE! THE PHOTOGRAPH IS NEAR MINT! AUTHENTICALLY SIGNED BEATLES ITEMS ARE AMONG THE CLOSEST ONE CAN OBTAIN AS A PERSONAL MEMENTO TO THE EVENT OF BEATLEMANIA ITSELF!IN 1962, DEZO HOFFMAN RECEIVED A LETTER FROM A FAN SENT TO THE RECORD MIRROR, A PUBLICATION AT WHICH DEZO WAS A STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER, BITTERLY COMPLAINING THAT THE PRESS WAS IGNORING THE “FAB” GROUP IN LIVERPOOL CALLED THE BEATLES. CONSEQUENTLY, HE WENT TO LIVERPOOL AND TOOK HIS FIRST PICTURES OF THE “SMART BUT RATHER SUBDUED” GROUP OF FOUR YOUNG MEN. DURING THEIR METEORIC RISE IN POPULARITY, THE BEATLES HIRED DEZO HOFFMAN TO BE THEIR FIRST PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER. HE WOULD GO ON TO CHRONICLE THEIR EXPERIENCES AND AS A FIRSTHAND PARTICIPANT, CAPTURED SOME OF THE MOST BOLD, IMAGINATIVE AND SENSITIVE IMAGES EVER PRODUCED OF THE BEATLES. DEZO TOOK MORE SHOTS OF THE GROUP, AND WAS CLOSER TO THEM, THAN ALMOST ANY OTHER PHOTOGRAPHER. HE COVERED NEARLY EVERY MAJOR EVENT IN THEIR CAREER, OFTEN BEING THE ONLY PHOTOGRAPHER PRESENT. WHAT I OFFER HERE IS A RARELY SEEN DEZO HOFFMAN BLACK AND WHITE PHOTOGRAPH OF THE BEATLES. THIS 6" X 8" EXAMPLE HAS BEEN SIGNED BY THE GROUP CIRCA LATE 1963, AND IS CONSIDERED RARER THAN AN AUTHENTICALLY SIGNED COLLARLESS SUIT SESSION "FAN CLUB CARD", ALSO SHOT BY DEZO HOFFMAN. WHEN THESE PUBLICITY PHOTOS DO SURFACE AND ARE SIGNED, THE SIGNATURES ARE USUALLY THOSE OF EITHER BEATLES ROAD MANAGER NEIL ASPINALL OR BEATLES ASSISTANT MAL EVANS.THE PHOTO WAS SNAPPED AT RUSSELL SQUARE, BLOOMSBURY, LONDON, ON JULY 2, 1963. THIS LOCATION WAS ONE OF MANY THAT DAY, AS DEZO HAD NAMED THE DAY'S SHOOT AS "A DAY IN THE LIFE OF THE BEATLES". THE LARGE GARDEN SQUARE IN BLOOMSBURY, IS IN THE LONDON BOROUGH OF CAMDEN.THE BEATLES HAVE SIGNED IN BLUE BALLPOINT NEAR THEIR RESPECTIVE IMAGE, AND ARE EXCELLENT EXAMPLES FROM THIS PERIOD. THE PHOTOGRAPH AND SIGNATURES ARE IN BRILLIANT NEAR MINT CONDITION.ACCOMPANIED BY MY LETTERAND A ALSO OF AUTHENTICITY FROM FRANK CAIAZZO. MR. CAIAZZO IS CONSIDERED TO BE THE WORLD'S LEADING AUTHORITY ON BEATLES SIGNED AND HANDWRITTEN MATERIAL! NOTE THAT THE BACK OF THE PHOTO IS ADHERED TO THE BACK MATTING SHEET.
