On the back, Jimi Hendrix wrote \"Love forever\" in blue ink, accompanied by a small heart and his signature. According to the owner, the guitarist stayed at the hotel for two or three days in 1969, accompanied by an unidentified blonde woman, and upon departing, he dedicated the card to Virgínia, a Brazilian woman who worked there as a chambermaid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBack in Brazil, following Hendrix's death in September 1970, Virgínia gifted the card to the current owner, a musician and rock enthusiast whom she knew through a mutual friend, Mosquito, a basketball player for Botafogo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShortly thereafter, in July 1973, the owner became known for surviving the Varig Flight 820 crash between Rio de Janeiro, Paris, and London, of which he was the only surviving passenger. Since then, he has kept the card in Rio de Janeiro and Belo Horizonte, never offering it for sale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eJimi Hendrix is considered by many to be the greatest guitarist in the history of rock. In just four years of his career, between 1966 and 1970, he revolutionized the instrument, left an indelible mark on the Woodstock festival in August 1969, and died in London at the age of 27. This meteoric trajectory makes his autographs rare pieces and among the most forged in the music market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis card brings together several exceptional elements: it was signed in 1969, at the height of his fame, in London, the city that launched his career, just a few months before his death, with an affectionate dedication and a drawing that reveal a spontaneous and personal gesture. Its direct provenance and its stay in the same family for over fifty years, without ever having passed through the market, further reinforce its appeal. Finally, the unique story of its owner, a survivor of one of the most significant plane crashes in Brazilian aviation history, adds a rare human dimension to the piece.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthenticity was assessed by expert Mathias Meyer, a member of the ILAB, at the maximum level G5 on the Glórias Scale, \"Exceptionally supported authenticity.\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis item is certified and offered on consignment by Glórias, which acts as an intermediary between the buyer and the seller, for a commission paid by the seller.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Glórias | Autógrafos e Manuscritos Raros","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62875037827231,"sku":"MJM26CER9GLO7","price":50000.0,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1945\/8243\/files\/autografojimihendrixlondres1969_1.png?v=1790446121","url":"https:\/\/glorias.com.br\/en\/products\/cartao-postal-autografado-por-jimi-hendrix-em-londres-1969","provider":"Glórias | Autógrafos e Manuscritos Raros","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
