Magnificent vintage glossy 10.75 x 13.5 portrait of Cooper in his role as Stretch in the 1938 film The Cowboy and the Lady, signed and inscribed in fountain pen, "To Walter Mutal, Best regards, Gary Cooper." Reverse bears a Coburn photographer's stamp. In very good to fine condition, with scattered creasing, two intersecting creases passing through Cooper's image, and poor-to-moderate signature contrast. An extraordinary, crystal-clear image of Cooper in Western costume by one of Hollywood's acclaimed photographers.
