^Lot 1298 Lupe Velez

Glamorous vintage matte-finish 10.5 x 13.5 head-and-shoulders photo of Velez all dolled up with an elegant up-do, signed and inscribed to assistant director George Rhein in fountain pen “To my friend George, wishing you all the success in the world, Always, Lupe Velez.” It appears Velez has also written the recipients name “George Rhein” on the reverse. In fine condition, with pronounced horizontal crease towards upper edge, crease to lower left corner, light background spotting in the signature area, and tape remnants from scrapbook removal on the reverse. Accompanied by a small candid photo of Velez and Rhein together.
