Vintage matte-finish 10.75 x 13.75 photo, signed and inscribed in fountain pen, "To John LeRoy Johnstone From Paul LeRoy. What a swell guy! They don't make them any better. Thanks Johnnie & all possible good fortune—Paul Robeson.” In fine condition, with some loss to the left border, easily matted out. Paul Robeson's middle name was LeRoy, thus this playful inscription to John LeRoy Johnstone, the publicity director for Universal Studios. Robeson is uncommon in signed photos, and this is the first oversized example we have offered.
