Google Lens found this: https://www.mediastorehouse.com/agence-france-presse-afp/vintage-archive/people-louis-armstrong-1901-1971/louis-armstrong-fan-head-signing-15389046.html

Photo is attributed to the Agence France-Presse, no mention of punk, just a fan. 'Punk' seems like a later addition to the description.
