Laurel & Hardy Signed Photo
Throughout the world there are only a handful of images from classic cinema that cause instant recognition, smiles, laughter and hours of wonderful memories. Perhaps one of the most iconic is that of Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. One instantly hears their distinctive voices, Stan's light working man's Cumbria English accent and Oliver's musical slight Georgia accent, as well as their bowlers, ties and ill-fitting suits. Autographs of these two legendary actor-comics are rare, and even rarely still is having both signed at the same time on the same photo. During a promotion tour in the 1930', they did sign a group of 5"x7" B&W Studio Publicity photos. Very few exits today. This is one of the famous duel-signed photos. Stan Laurel's autograph was done with a fountain pen in blue ink, and Oliver Hardy's is also with a fountain pen in black ink. The photo itself shows normal signs of patina aging, but is in excellent condition. Comes with a Letter of Provenience from Artie Kern who was the curator for the Songwriter's Hall of Fame and had this in his collection.
