Actor (1853–1937) best remembered today for portraying Sherlock Holmes on stage and in a 1916 silent film. His portrayal of Holmes helped create the modern image of the detective. Very rare vintage glossy 10 x 13 photo of Gillette as Sherlock Holmes, signed and inscribed in fountain pen “Hello and goodbye to Harry Brown—with all good wishes and regards—William Gillette, May 10, 1930.” Photo is affixed to an identical size board. Scattered creases to image and background, trimmed edges, and moderate to heavy contrast to signature and inscription, otherwise very good condition. The first photo of Gillette we have seen in character.
