ITEM INFORMATION
Hey there, up for auction is a lot of 2 autographs. The lot includes a Stan Laurel autograph cut and a Oliver Hardy autograph cut. The autographs are both in fountain pen and both separately on their own cut piece of paper. The cut papers are then adhered to a black piece of scrapbook page/backer measuring approximately 3 1/2" x 5 1/2". There is a piece of paper adhered to the back of the scrapbook pages that notes where the autographs were obtained. The item presents very nicely in a centered display.
Item Background/Provenance
The autographs are from the personal collection of noted Mexican artist Antonio Pelaez (1921-1994). The autographs were from an album collected by Pelaez from 1938-1942, which included many movie stars (Frank Morgan, Lucille Ball, Lupe Velez, etc.), bullfighters, artists (Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera), and musicians (Igor Stravinsky, Arthur Rubinstein) of the era. On the back of the scrapbook pages are a few lines about the provenance as well as a small printed photo of Pelaez with Kahlo at her last solo opening in Mexico.
Autograph Authentication
Both autographs are certified authentic by PSA/DNA and both pieces are encapsulated in individual tamper-proof plastic holders. The plastic holders each measure approximately 4 1/4" x 7 1/4" and will come with a scratch-resistant plastic sleeve to protect the surface.
Item Condition
The autographs are both dated from 1941. Note the Hardy has some stray blue ink from another signature on the surface as shown in the image. Both autographs look great and are in black fountain pen.
