Cat. #00135411: FERNANDEL

Quite scarce vintage 10.5 x 6-inch black and white portrait of the legendary French comic film icon, boldly signed in blue fountain pen in-person by an inveterate Paris-based autograph hound in 1969, two years before his untimely death. Angling toward a light source reveals some minor emulsification of the photograph, but this is invisible when the piece is viewed head-on.
