The winner of our March 2017 prize draw
Our winner for March hails from Alameda, California where – according to this vintage postcard we found (on alamedainfo.com) – the climate is perfect and the people are the kind you like to know.
Last week we entered all our newsletter subscribers into our regular prize draw and plucked out the name of Jim Daly, a journalist, entrepreneur and Beatles fan who's lucky enough to live in this place where opportunity is unlimited! Jim chose his print accordingly:
I would love to have a copy of the beautiful, letterpress-printed "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite" limited edition. It's a wonderful poster and very meaningful to me. I've been a fan of the Beatles since, as a tot, I watched them on the Ed Sullivan show on TV while my big sister Barbara screamed just a few feet away.
Jim also sent over this great photo of himself and his partner outside "Mendips", John Lennon's boyhood home in Liverpool, taken last year. This is the house that belonged to Lennon's Aunt Mimi.
