KATHARINE HEPBURN (3). Definitive vintage 10x13 matte finish silver tone head and shoulders publicity portrait, circa 1940, boldly signed and inscribed in black fountain pen, To Theodore Ritty/all good wishes/Katharine Hepburn." Fine condition, with a small area of paper loss in the right border; a small tear in the left border, impinging about one quarter inch into the background; faint silvering in the background, essentially invisible when the image is viewed head on; and light vertical bends in the dark background along the left and right edges. The photograph has been handsomely double matted and professionally framed with UV glass to an overall size of 16x19, with the slight border flaws hidden as seen in the accompanying scan. A magnificent display piece.
