An inner lyric sleeve from the 1972 double album 'Some Time in New York City', preserving the iconic 'New York Times' newspaper-style graphic design. This example bears a bold signature in black marker reading 'John Lennon' across the lower center, and a signature in blue ballpoint reading 'Yoko Ono' in the upper right quadrant, accompanied by a hand-drawn 'Sun Face' doodle.

Dimensions: Sleeve: 12 1/4 x 12 1/4 in. All measurements are approximate.

Note: 'Some Time in New York City' stands as the most politically overt statement of Lennon and Ono's career. The presence of Ono's doodle alongside the signatures elevates the piece to a collaborative visual work.
