Popular American entertainer who cultivated an image as a wisecracking cowboy and earned worldwide renown for his mordant wit and skill at rope tricks. After a successful vaudeville career, Rogers made an easy transition to films and became one of the top box-office draws of the late 1920s and early 1930s. His career came to an untimely end when he died in a 1935 plane crash in Alaska along with Wiley Post. Vintage matte-finish 7.5 x 9.5 portrait of Rogers smirking in suit and tie, signed in the lower right corner in fountain pen. Moderate signature contrast, crease to upper right corner, and silvering along edges, otherwise fine condition. A terrific example! RRAuction COA.
