Wonderful vintage glossy 8 x 10 publicity photo of the young Armstrong holding his trumpet, signed and inscribed in green fountain pen, "To Little Caesar, From, Louis Armstrong, of Red Beans and Rice, '46"
This was gifted to a fellow New Orleans musician from the group Little Ceasar and the Conspirators.
Red beans and rice, a staple of New Orleans cuisine, was his favorite food.
There is age and handling wear to the photo, including pinholes in the corners from previous display, a small tear to the lower left border, a tape remnant on reverse and some light creasing.
