Fabulous lot of a dozen oversized matte-finish or glossy photos (many vintage) of silver screen sweeties of old. Sizes range from 9.4 x 11 to 11 x 14. Included: Lillian Harvey; Bessie Love (2); Ethel [Merman]; a gorgeous portrait of Anna Neagle wearing a fur coat and veiled headpiece, signed and inscribed in fountain pen “For May”; another great Anna Neagle portrait, signed and inscribed “For Mrs. Hollingshead” in fountain pen; surprisingly sexy shot of Lenore Ulrich, signed and inscribed in purple fountain pen “To my boy friend Cliff - from ‘Ki Ki’ Lenore”; cute close-up portrait of Alberta Vaughn signed and inscribed in fountain pen “To Mr. Joseph Whiteacre”; an adorable close-up Herbert Mitchell portrait of the fetching Mitzi Green, signed and inscribed in fountain pen “To Leon, All the happiness in the world, Love, Mitzi” (the portrait is also signed by the photographer); an elegant vintage portrait of Charlotte Greenwood, who adds a sort of happy face and “1930”; a great Edwin Bower Hesser portrait of the charming Lily Lee, signed and inscribed “For Henry, Lily Lee, 1930” in fountain pen; and a coquettish pose of Mrs. Jacques Martin, signed in fountain pen and adding the date “1930,” In overall very good condition, with neatly trimmed edges to a few, occasional silvering and minor edge wear, surface impressions, corner creases, adhesive residue on the reverse of several from previous mountings. A terrific, unique array of photos! R&R COA.
