An Original Vintage Autographed 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Publicity Still (Learn More) Igor Stravinsky was a Russian composer, pianist and conductor from 1910s to the 1970s. His works have been used in countless movies, including: Fantasia, La Verite and Bird. He passed away in 1971 at the age of 88. Important Added Info: Note that this still has been personally autographed (signed) by Igor Stravinsky! About the Collection this Item Comes From Note that this item (and 17 others we are auctioning this week, each in its own auction) was consigned to us by a man who was a successful business man, and in late 1989, he decided to take up the hobby of obtaining autographed stills! He obtained current addresses of many celebrities of the 1920s through the 1950s who were still alive, and he also purchased original vintage stills on those celebrities (when he could find vintage ones), or he purchased repro stills when he could not find vintage ones. He then wrote a nice detailed handwritten letter to each of those stars, enclosing one or more photos, and he described in detail what he liked about their career, and how much of a fan he was. The celebrities who received his letters mostly replied by sending back the item(s) signed, and sometimes they wrote nice letters as well! Our consignor continued with this hobby for around 2 1/2 years, and over that time he was able to acquire a large number of signed stills, which he has consigned to us. In this set of auctions we are auctioning 18 of his autographed items (and we will auction others from his collection in future "all signed" auctions). We feel certain that the autographs on these items are authentic! Note that each of the 18 items from this consignor all have this paragraph on them. Condition: fair. It seems likely that this still was originally personalized to someone, and then someone else acquired it, and they apparently did not want to display it with that person's name, so they cut off that portion of the still!. Otherwise, the still is in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
