Adventurer, director, screenwriter, and producer (1893-1973), his most famous film work was the 1933 movie King Kong. Vintage matte-finish 9.25 x 7 photo, signed and inscribed in fountain pen, “To: Buddy Pepper, Merry Christmas from the creator of ‘King Kong,’ Merian C. Cooper. This is a direct copy of the first sketch, which was made long before the start of the motion picture, M. C. C.,” and dated in the upper right, “Christmas 1966.” Impressively double-matted and framed with name plaques and an unsigned portrait to an overall size of 17.5 x 39.5. In fine condition. The original sketch, depicting King Kong fighting off a swarm of airplanes, was among the images Cooper showed to RKO Pictures when pitching the film. An extraordinary photo from the creator of one of Hollywood’s most memorable monsters.
