Three extraordinary vintage signed photos: one matte-finish 10 x 13.25 portrait of William Randolph Hearst blindstamped by photographer James Manatt, boldly signed and inscribed in fountain pen, “To my good friend and valued advisor Joseph Willicombe, with whom I have enjoyed most agreeable and most advantageous association for many years, this photograph is affectionately inscribed, William Randolph Hearst”; and two matte-finish 11 x 14 photos of his twin sons, Randolph Apperson Hearst and Elbert Willson Hearst, by Campbell Studios of New York, each signed and inscribed by the son pictured to Willicombe. Both Campbell Studios portraits are housed in their original presentation folders. In overall fine condition. Of these twins, Randolph became chairman of the Hearst Corporation and president of The San Francisco Examiner, but is best known as the father of the notorious Patty Hearst; Elbert changed his name to David Whitmire and served as a vice president of the Hearst Corporation. Willicombe served as Hearst’s longtime private secretary and confidante. A fantastic group of portraits with an intimate association within America’s pioneering news company.
