5 1/4 x 3 1/4 in (13.2 x 8.2 cm)
Provenance and Authentication:
This collectible has undergone a rigorous forensic evaluation. The signatures were carefully analyzed across multiple criteria, including ink deposition, material aging characteristics, stylistic consistency, and historical alignment. The findings provide a sound basis for authenticity and historical context, and the piece is accompanied by comprehensive documentation supporting both its provenance and verification.
This exceptionally rare signed postcard features the original four members of The Beatles: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, each represented by a genuine period autograph. The postcard displays a classic early-era photographic montage of the band, capturing their youthful image at the height of Beatlemania, a moment that forever altered the course of popular music and global youth culture.
The signatures are distributed across the postcard in a balanced and natural manner, consistent with authentic early-1960s Beatles signing habits. The handwriting characteristics reflect the group's formative years, when autographs were still signed personally rather than through later secretarial or controlled signing environments. The overall visual harmony between the image and the autographs significantly enhances both aesthetic presence and historical integrity.
As one of the most influential bands in modern history, The Beatles redefined songwriting, studio experimentation, and the cultural role of musicians. Fully signed items bearing all four members are universally regarded as the pinnacle of Beatles memorabilia, particularly on period postcards, which were among the most commonly signed formats during their early touring years.
From a market perspective, fully signed Beatles postcards remain among the most sought-after categories in music memorabilia collecting. Comparable examples have consistently achieved strong results at major international auctions, driven by extreme scarcity, irreversible historical loss of John Lennon and George Harrison, and the enduring global demand for museum-grade Beatles artifacts.
This piece represents not merely a collectible, but a tangible document of twentieth-century cultural history. Its compact format allows for exceptional display flexibility, whether framed independently, integrated into a broader music history collection, or presented as a centerpiece within a high-level autograph archive.
