Fantastic vintage glossy 8 x 10 photo of Bogart as he appeared in To Have and Have Not, signed and inscribed in fountain pen “To Maurie, good luck, Humphrey Bogart.” A noticeable horizontal crease across the bottom third of the photo, affecting the ends of the inscription and signature, irregular vertical lines of toning to the right side (likely from a magnetic album), some scattered soiling to the borders, and tack holes to the corners and borders, otherwise very good condition. An exceptional film in cast and crew (Hemingway and Faulkner both worked on the script), the production marked a turning point in Bogart’s life—it was Lauren Bacall’s first film, and where the two met and fell in love. Within a year, they were married. An especially desirable item, as signed photos of Bogart in his most iconic roles are extremely scarce. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
