Vintage matte-finish 10 x 8 photo of Humphrey Bogart and wife Mayo Methot posing with their three dogs, signed and inscribed in black ink by Bogart, “To Tom Whalen—many, many thanks—Mayo & Bogie.” Dated in the lower right corner in another hand, “1940.” In fine condition. Bogart began his volatile and headline-grabbing marriage to actress Mayo Methot in 1938. After seven years of violence and unpredictable behavior brought on by Methot’s untreated alcoholism, the couple finally divorced in 1945; she would tragically succumb to the effects of her drinking at the age of 47. An uncommon and desirable photo of the ‘Battling Bogarts.’ Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
