Bela Lugosi Signed Photograph. ...

Description

Bela Lugosi Signed Photograph. Striking, gloss finish photograph of an etching by N. Goode of the legendary Bela Lugosi, boldly inscribed in black ink "To Ruth with sincere regards Bela Lugosi." The signature, which the actor has sharply underlined, features the characteristic accent mark that Lugosi placed over the "e" in his name when signing his early autographs. In Fine condition, the photograph shows age toning and minor surface wear. There is minor staining at the upper left corner. The photograph was mounted to paper at one time and shows signs of glue and paper residue covering the back. There is a slight smudge to the "i" in Lugosi and while one is drawn to Lugosi' penetrating gaze, the signature is strong. Accompanied by a COA from PSA/DNA.
