BOW CLARA: (1905-1965) American actress. Vintage signed and inscribed 10 x 12 photograph of The It Girl in an appealing half-length pose with one hand raised to her left ear. Signed in green fountain pen ink across a light area at the centre of the image, 'To Jack, what a great fellow! your friend, Clara Bow'. Presented to Jack Wilson, a Paramount studios electrician. Neatly mounted to board and with some surface marks and evidence of previous tears to the image, since restored to a reasonable standard and only very slightly affecting the conclusion of Bow's signature. Accompanied by two vintage unsigned 9.5 x 7.5 photographs, the first depicting Bow seated in a full-length pose at a table signing photographs for a group of male crew members who worked on the film Dancing Mothers (1926) including Jack Wilson, standing as the tallest man in the back row, and the second photograph depicting Paramount's Astoria studio where the film was shot. Some surface creasing and other minor faults to the two unsigned photographs. About G, 3
