Description

Charming portrait of Fields in an unconscious state, humorously inscribed “Best wishes from the sleeping beauty”

Vintage glossy 8 x 10 Paramount Pictures publicity photo from 1935, of Fields asleep outside, his head resting on the arm of a wooden chair, signed and inscribed in fountain pen “To Mrs. Robeson, Best wishes from the sleeping beauty. W. C. Fields.” In very good condition, with scattered creases and surface marks, none affecting the signature, and a few light spots to facial area. Fields’ 8 x 10 photos of any kind are quite uncommon, much more so with such pithy content. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
