Description

A Ginger Rogers Caricature by Vitch from The Brown Derby Restaurant, Circa 1930s. Rendered in black and red ink on paper, featuring a stylized image of the star plus a smaller image of her (created from the letters of her first name) in the upper left corner, her black fountain pen ink signature in the lower right corner reads "To Brown Derby / Ginger Rogers" [a good example of Rogers' early autograph which she later changed]; further signed by the artist in the lower left corner; in its original black wooden frame; one of the many great sketches that hung on the walls of the famous Brown Derby restaurant in Los Angeles. (Please note the paper is yellowed and brittle due to age.)
