Vintage glossy 7.75 x 10 Warner Bros. publicity photo of the Bogarts sailing together most likely on Bogart’s famous boat the Santana, credited to Floyd McCarthy, signed and inscribed in fountain pen “For Mina, much love from Bogie,” with Bacall signing in front of her husband’s name “Betty” [her given name]. Lightly trimmed vertical edges, scattered creases and surface marks, Bacall’s signature a couple shades lighter than Bogart’s, and a bit of trivial edge soiling, otherwise fine condition. Next to Bacall, the second love of Bogart’s life was sailing. The Santana, a fifty-five-foot sailing yacht, which he had bought from Dick Powell and June Allyson was his home away from home. Not merely a movie star with deep pockets, Bogart was a serious helmsman, spending over half his weekends a year on the sea and even competing and taking first in class in at least two respectable races. An interesting, relaxed pose of the famous couple enjoying Bogies favorite pastime. One of only three signed images of Bogart and Bacall we have seen, and the only one of this size.
