Description

Laurel and Hardy Signed Photo. They ranked as the #7 all-time greatest comedy act ever (and highest rated comedy duo) in the 2005 Comedian's Comedian poll, and the number of classic short and feature-length films that Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy starred in throughout the silent and early sound eras is enormous. This sepia-toned 11" x 14" b&w photo was taken by Stax Graves, the official Hal Roach Studio's photographer who took many portrait shots of Laurel and Hardy, and whose photos are much sought after by collectors. It is inscribed "Here we are again!" and signed by both Laurel (simply as "Stan") and Hardy, as well as by Graves in the lower right corner, and dated 1932. The photo is in very nice condition with a fair amount of tanning, minor soiling, no silvering, and worn corners with a tack hole in each. With COA from PSA/DNA.
