Description

Ethereal Lombard portrait

American actress (1908–1942) who enjoyed great success as a popular screen comedienne in the 1930s, and who became Mrs. Clark Gable in 1939. On January 16, 1942, the plane in which Lombard was traveling en route to a war bond rally crashed into Mount Potosi near Las Vegas, killing all 22 aboard. Breathtaking oversized vintage matte-finish 10.75 x 13.75 full-length photo of Lombard in an off-the-shoulder dress and bathed in soft light, signed and inscribed in fountain pen “For Shim, Cordially, Carole Lombard.” In fine condition, with a small tear to top edge and a few inconsequential creases to the edges and background. A stunning, and uncommon, oversized example from one of Hollywood’s most legendary, and sought after, Golden Era stars. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
