Description

Scarce early photo of ‘The Duke’

Dapper vintage matte-finish 8 x 10 photo by Maurice of Chicago, signed and inscribed in blue ink, "To Artie, Best wishes, Duke Ellington." Photo is dated at the bottom in an unknown hand "1932." In fine condition, with two small stains to the right side. Very uncommon in early photos, and this is a beauty.
