Description

"From the little chap himself"

Vintage pearl-finish 7.75 x 9.75 full-length photo of Chaplin as the Tramp, leaning on his cane with a decidedly impatient expression, signed and inscribed in fountain pen, "To K. S., From the little chap himself, Charlie, June 15th, 1922.” In very good to fine condition, with two small edge tears, silvering to darker areas of the image, and light surface rubbing. Already a worldwide star due to the popularity of his Tramp character, Chaplin made his feature-length directorial debut in 1921 with The Kid, a massive success upon release that has since been lauded as one of the greatest films of the silent era. An amazing photo signed during the very peak of his popularity. Pre-certified Beckett Authentication Services.
