The Beatles: A group of rare photographs of the Beatles at Hamburg Airport,2nd June 1962,believed unpublished, thirty-one black and white prints with six duplicates, the negatives now lost, reverse with Foto Kunze Hamburg stamp, approx 3in x 4in (7.5cm x 10cm), some smaller (Qty)Footnotes:Provenance:According to the vendor, these photographs were taken by her aunt with a borrowed camera. Apparently her aunt had got to know the Beatles and had attended their final night at the Star-Club, at the close of their third residency in Hamburg, which ran from 13th April to 31st May. This added around 144 hours of stage time to their career, over 48 nights, with just one day off. Their arrival in Hamburg had been overshadowed by the news of the death on 10th April of their former bassist, Stuart Sutcliffe, aged just 21. Also seen in these photographs taken on Saturday 2nd June are Gerry Marsden, who had taken the vendor's aunt to say goodbye, bouncer Horst Fascher and club-owner Manfred Weissleder. Paul can be seen holding a bunch of roses brought, it seems, by the aunt. Amongst the Beatles' new clothes they were taking home was Stuart Sutcliffe's art school scarf, the only item that John retained from his close friend's possessions.The Beatles left on a mid-afternoon Lufthansa flight to London Airport and then flew to Manchester where they were collected by Neil Aspinall for the drive back to Liverpool. Just four days later they travelled to London for the historic recording session at EMI's Abbey Road studios.Literature:Lewisohn, Mark, All These Years Volume 1: Tune In, Little, Brown, London, 2013.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
John Lennon: A two page autographed letter from John to Astrid Kirchherr,Royal Mail stamped October 1962,written in blue ballpoint pen on blue note paper, the insightful letter titled This letter isn't a funny one sorry!, sent to reassure Astrid following Stuart Sutcliffe's sudden death, he writes I am sorry you are so sad and uncertain of yourself...You must know that Cyn[sic] and I and the other Beatles will always feel the same about you. You will always be Stuart's Astrid to us, he continues to discuss his then wife Cynthia and her pregnancy ...having this 'little' John inside her...and being a wife, hee!, and later about the Beatles current release ...it is quite good - but not good enough..., signed off Lots of love John XXX; with original envelope in red ink, showing faded Royal Mail date stamp Oct. 1962, pages 7in x 9in (18cm x 23cm)Footnotes:Provenance:From a Private German CollectionThe Beatles were all extremely fond of Astrid as this letter confirms. Especially following the tragic and early death of Stuart Sutcliffe, her fiancé and one of the Beatles founding members. The letter written six months following this, in what appears to be a reply to one John may have received from her. He writes in a direct and kind tone, in support of a young and grieving friend. Lennon refers to himself as John Winston in the letter and references Cynthia as 'Cyn', his new wife, on numerous occasions. They both knew Astrid as he discusses how they are looking forward to seeing her soon. But he quickly states that he is not looking forward to being back in Hamburg. The second page of the letter discusses Lennon's upset that 'Klaus', which we believe to be Voorman, was at that time not on speaking terms with Astrid. However this is not elaborated on in the letter. He simply hopes to reassure her that he will come around and that she is ok living her life as she wishes. On a more positive note he comments on her recent photography of the Liverpool band The Undertakers, for which Astrid had taken promotional images. He finishes the letter updating her on the current news and successes of the Beatles, showing some lack in confidence of their current record and predicting it not being as good as he would like, but that it is selling well. At this time they had just released 'Love Me Do' which went to No.17 in the UK charts, in contrast to its re-release in the USA two years later when it went straight to No.1.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
