Description

Judy Garland’s earliest MGM portrait

Vintage pearl finish 8 x 10 Sinclair Bull portrait photo from Judy's very first MGM sitting. Taken on November 30, 1935 when Garland was 13 years old. Signed in fountain pen in the lower right corner, 'Judy Garland.' Reverse bears the original MGM press release caption noting 'She is being hailed as the sensational child discovery of the year and is under long term contract...said to be the only player ever signed without the formality of a screen test. In very fine condition, with a couple trivial corner tip dings. This photo represents the earliest known official signed portrait of Garland, and would be the pinnacle for any serious Garland collector. RRAuction COA.
