Buddy Holly and the Crickets | A signed promotional photograph

Buddy Holly and the Crickets

A General Artists Corporation promotional photograph by James J. Kriegmann, [ca. 1958]

Photographic print (255 x 201 mm), inscribed and signed by Buddy Holly, Jerry Allison, and Joe Maudlin, captioned at foot; loss to upper right corner, mild creasing and rubbing, stray spots, signatures a little faded, verso with abrasions at corners from the removal of tape, and with manuscript notes reading "March 30, 1958" and "Varrick 82."

A handsome signed portrait of Buddy Holly and the Crickets. Buddy Holly's signature is rare due to his sudden death in 1959, at only twenty-two years old, and not long after these promotional materials were made.
