THE BEATLES - A FULLY SIGNED HELP! ROYAL PREMIERE MENU CARD.
A menu card for the Help! Royal World Premiere at the Dorchester Hotel, Thursday 29th July, 1965, signed to menu page by Jane Asher, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, John Lennon and Roy Kinnear. Signed page measures approx 11 x 16.8cm. The menu is accompanied by a signed letter of provenance documenting how the vendor was attending a separate event at the Dorchester on that date when they were informed that the Help! dinner was being held in an adjoining room. Obtaining a menu card, they set about obtaining each of the Beatles' signatures, only managing to get John Lennon's scrawl as he was being ushered out of the venue (hence its rushed appearance). Authenticated by Roger Epperson prior to this sale.
