Description

Sterling as chief of the Keystone Cops

American actor and comedian (1883–1939) best known for his work with Keystone Studios and as one of the 'Big 4' Keystone Cops. Rare vintage matte-finish 8 x 10 Witzel of L.A. full-length photo of Ford as the chief of the bumbling Keystone Cops, signed and inscribed in fountain pen, “To Toppy:—when do we go to Long Beach, Yours, Ford Sterling.” In very good condition, with slight creasing and soiling, wear to edges, a few specks to his suit filled in with black ink, and some reduced ink flow to portions of the signature. A stunningly clear shot of Sterling in full, over-the-top character—and the first item we have offered of the prolific comedian. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
