American playwright, songwriter, and actor (1878–1942), widely regarded as the father of American musical comedy, who takes a place among the most beloved entertainers of his era. Among his scores of hits are such standards as “You’re a Grand Old Flag,” “Give My Regards to Broadway,” and “Over There.” Spectacular vintage matte-finish 10.5 x 13.5 photo in its original 13.75 x 17.75 folder mount, a seated portrait distinguished-looking Cohan with his glasses on his forehead, boldly signed and inscribed in fountain pen, “To Lou McKnight with sincere good wishes, George M. Cohan.” A few tiny rubs to edges of photo (mentioned only for strictest accuracy), otherwise very fine, pristine condition. Undoubtedly among the finest examples in existence! R&R COA.
