Description

Morgan as the elusive Wizard of Oz—the singular example we’ve ever offered

Immensely desirable vintage glossy 8 x 10 MGM publicity portrait of Morgan as the eponymous character of the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz, signed and inscribed in fountain pen, "To Albert, from, 'The Wizard of Oz,' Kindest regards, Frank Morgan." Collector's date notations on reverse indicate that the signature was obtained on August 3, 1946. In fine condition. Signed photos of Morgan as his most memorable character remain exceedingly rare and highly sought-after by collectors, with this example further elevated by Morgan's ever-desirable addition of "The Wizard of Oz"—this is the only such example we've ever encountered in 40 years.
