Scrapbook kept by the actor’s sister, Frances ‘Pat’ Bogart Rose, during the 1950s, consisting of family correspondence, photos, and press clippings about her brother—several of the letters have interesting Bogie content. Affixed to the last page is an ANS from Lauren Bacall, in full: “With much love to Pat, Betty & Bogie.” Also included in the scrapbook are cards from Bogart’s children Steven and Leslie, a condolence card from her brother’s passing, original newspapers, and an original photo of Bogart, Bacall and his sister Pat. Also included are three fantastic Bogart family photos: one matte-finish 3.5 x 5 oval portrait of Bogart as a toddler, posing with his younger sister; one matte-finish 3.75 x 4.5 portrait of his father in hunting gear, posing with a rifle and a dog; and one matte-finish 3.5 x 4.5 portrait of Bogart’s mother with an infant child. All are matted and framed to an approximate size of 6.75 x 8.25. In overall very good to fine condition. Provenance: Butterfield & Butterfield, 2000. Bogart’s younger sister Frances, nicknamed Pat, was a troubled soul who spent much of her adult life in and out of mental institutions. She was a beloved part of the family. This is Pat’s personal scrapbook from when she was in the hospital. A touching glimpse into the family of the famous actor. RR Auction COA.
