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 8 x 10 Melbourne Spurr portrait, signed and inscribed in black fountain pen, “To Eduard Werver, With Best Wishes from Will Rogers.” Trivial corner bends, two tiny ink marks, and portions of the signature traced over by Rogers, otherwise fine condition.
