Beautiful vintage matte-finish 8 x 10 MGM publicity photo for the 1941 film Ziegfeld Girl, boldly signed and inscribed in fountain pen, “To Jack Knox, Sincerely, Judy Garland.” Impressively and archivally double suede matted and framed with UV protective glass to an overall size of 15 x 17. A few subtle bends, surface marks, and emulsion cracks (all unobtrusive and visible mainly from an angle), otherwise fine condition. Judy began filming for Ziegfeld Girl in 1940, a mere year following the release of the Wizard of Oz. At the age of 18, Judy was attempting to transition from childhood into more adult roles, though she was still typecast as the wholesome girl-next-door. Ziegfeld Girl starred such greats as Lana Turner, Hedy Lamarr, Jackie Cooper, and James Stewart, and was directed by Busby Berkeley—an MGM musical legend famous for his elaborate dance sequences and reputation for perfection—something that would later cause friction between he and Garland. The photo offered here was featured on the cover of Autograph Magazine’s extensive 2008 Judy Garland Signature Study. A crystal-clear photo boasting a crisp and bold signature—we have never encountered another Garland photo quite like it!
