A characteristic cartoon self-portrait by John Lennon with the sun shining behind a pyramid, signed and inscribed to Hilary Gerrard: "To Hillary with love as per! John". - Hilary Gerrard (1933-2023) served as business manager to Ringo Starr from the 1970s onwards. This drawing may well have been executed during, or been inspired by, John and Yoko's 1977 trip to Egypt, where they intended to dig for buried treasures. Yoko Ono's fascination for the cultures of ancient Egypt is also reflected by her 1973 LP release "Feeling The Space" together with the "Plastic Ono Band".
English singer, songwriter and musician (1940-1980). Autograph on paper. No place or date. Oblong 8vo (95 x 140 mm). Signed in blue ink.

From the estate of the late Franz-Peter Bach of Wolfsburg, an avid autograph collector of many years. Bach began collecting in the 1980s, following music tours in Germany as well as attending swap meets in Hanover, where he would not only exchange autographs, but also acquired addresses of celebrities, to whom he would then apply for signatures directly. His collection was meticulously collated, and the present item has been dispersed from one of his many albums.
