Dashing vintage matte-finish 10 x 13 portrait of Gable by Clarence Sinclair Bull, signed and inscribed in fountain pen, “To Miss Claubert, Best of luck, Always, Clark Gable.” In fine condition, with a few scattered creases and impressions (one crease touching the top of the inscription). Accompanied by a copy of the text from the original transmittal letter, which was dated October 23, 1934, in part: “I am sending you a photograph of Clark Gable…for the younger Klauber girl…he insisted that she should have a French name, and so spelled it ‘Claubert.’ Believe it or not, but this was done personally by Clark Gable himself.” An outstanding portrait of the actor with a superlative signature and adorable backstory. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
