Description

Vintage fountain pen signature and inscription, “To Lily, The one and only best wishes always, W. C. Fields,” on a light yellow album page. Matted with a color photo of Fields from one of his films, to an overall size of 12 x 18.

Dirigo’s daughter, Carmen, was also an award-winning stylist who worked on such classics as The Killers and Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein. In fine condition, with light show-through from signature on reverse. PSA/DNA Auction LOA and R&R COA.
