Description

Exceedingly rare portrait of the original Oz scarecrow

Film comedian (1889–1928) during the silent era, once considered a ‘Comedy King,’ but now mainly remembered for working with both Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. Semon is also known for directing, as well as appearing, in the 1925 silent film the Wizard of Oz. Vintage matte-finish 7 x 9 portrait by Lujean of Los Angeles, signed and inscribed in purple ink, “To ‘Richardson,’ from Larry Semon.” In very good to fine condition, with a few creases to the upper left, a small tear to the right border repaired with tape on the reverse, and trivial silvering to dark areas of the image. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
