Handsome vintage glossy 8 x 10 photo of Chaplin sharply dressed in a jacket and tie, signed vertically in-person in fountain pen. Reverse of photo bears collector’s stamp date of July 4, 1940, the date the signature was acquired. In fine condition, with a bit of light soiling to top border, a few scattered light surface marks, and overall image a bit grainy. A terrific portrait, obtained just three months before the release of Chaplin’s first talkie, his greatest financial success, and the first film to bitterly satirize Nazism: The Great Dictator. Saul Goodman Collection. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
