Spectacular matte-finish 9 x 12 photo of Stewart as he appeared in the 1949 film The Stratton Story, signed and inscribed in black felt tip, “To Bo—Best wishes, Jimmy Stewart.” Nicely double-matted and framed to an overall size of 16 x 18.5. In fine condition. The film told the true story of Chicago White Sox pitcher Monty Stratton, whose Major League career ended prematurely when a hunting accident forced doctors to amputate his right leg. Though he never returned to the Majors, Stratton successfully pitched in the minor leagues from 1946 to 1953 with the help of a prosthetic leg. Stewart was Stratton’s personal choice to portray him and the two worked together for three weeks before shooting began. An absolutely outstanding image from the successful movie, which earned an Academy Award for Best Writing. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
