Three items: a matte-finish 8 x 10 photo of Stanwyck wearing a strapless dress, pearls, and dress gloves, signed and inscribed in black ink, "My very best wishes to Marshall Steeden, Barbara Stanwyck"; a matte-finish 8 x 10 photo of the actress wearing a collared shirt and nibbling on her thumb, signed and inscribed in fountain pen, "To Viola, with every good wish, always, Missy"; and an unsigned 5.5 x 8 sheet of notes penned in black ballpoint by Stanwyck on her personal letterhead, no date, in full: "George Hurrell is more than 'just a photographer.' His work always seemed to me to go beyond the subject at hand. More into the depth of its character—and that after all is what makes Hurrell a fine artist." In overall fine condition.
