Description

Extremely early sketch from the year of Hitchcock’s first thriller

Remarkable fountain pen sketch of a sailboat in the ocean on an off-white 5 x 3.75 album page, crisply signed below, “Alfred J. Hitchcock,” and dated 1927. Some light scattered staining (mostly confined to edges), otherwise fine condition. This dates to very early in his career, when we was still a fledgling director in London—Hitchcock’s first success came in the the year of this sketch, with the release of his third film and first thriller, The Lodger. A superb and unusual Hitchcock piece from his earliest days as a director. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
