Description

Set of five vintage photos individually signed by a notable Hollywood actor, including:

Vintage glossy 7 x 9 seated photo of Ernie Kovacs relaxing with a cigar, signed and inscribed in fountain pen, “Dear Miss Ebert, Thank you so much, Ernie Kovacs.” In very good condition, with trimmed edges, scattered surface marks and impressions and some light crazing to finish.

Attractive vintage matte-finish 7.25 x 9.5 photo of Arthur Treacher contentedly reading under lamplight, signed and inscribed in fountain pen, “‘For’ John Hall Bolles, with sincere best wishes, from, Arthur Treacher.” Trimmed and in fine condition, with some silvering.

Vintage matte-finish 11 x 14 photo of Herbert Marshall holding a pipe and wearing a bow tie and glen plaid suit, signed and inscribed in fountain pen, “To Georgia French with all good wishes, Herbert Marshall.” In very good condition, with poor-to-moderate contrast to signature, a few subtle bends, and just a hint of mild soiling and rippling to top edge.

Vintage matte-finish 11 x 13.75 portrait of Jack Carson, prominently signed and inscribed in blue fountain pen, “To Johnny, Sincerely, Jack Carson.” In fine condition, with some corner and edge wear and a smudge to end of signature.

Vintage matte-finish 8 x 10 Dyar-Engstead portrait of Fred MacMurray, signed and inscribed in fountain pen, “To Helene—‘The pride of Palladium,’ Best of luck, Fred MacMurray.” Lower right bears the studio blindstamp. Cloth-matted and framed to an overall size of 11.75 x 13.75. In fine condition.
