Provenance: accompanied by a detailed letter from the original recipient that reads:
‘I was in Lagos, Nigeria for the summer holidays in 1973. My father worked for Guinness Nigeria and my sister and I went home to boarding school (as was common in those days). We went home for all the long holidays.
We regularly visited the lkeja, Lagos Country Club in the afternoons where we could swim, play tennis and table tennis and generally meet with other children.
1There was a lot of chatter about a former Beatle coming to Lagos with his new band, Wings. We all saw Paul and Linda McCartney in the club, and I was one day brave enough to go and ask them for their autographs. These l then stuck in my autograph book. I recall that my younger sister (then aged 10) playing with one of the McCartney’s small children -I think this must have been Mary McCartney’.
