Legendary singer (1915–1959), revered as one of the greatest and most individual vocalists in the history of blues and jazz, who died from cirrhosis of the liver at the age of 44. Glamorous and scarce vintage glossy 7.25 x 8.5 uninscribed head-and-shoulders photo, signed in blue ballpoint. Suede-matted and framed to an overall size of 12.75 x 14.25. In fine condition, with some scattered light creases, and some moderate contrast to the light signature, as well as skipping of ink to the last two letters of signature. Holiday is very difficult to find in signed images of any size, even more so an uninscribed 8 x 10 portrait. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Roger Epperson/REAL. RR Auction COA.
