Chevalier, Maurice (1888-1972) French-born singer, actor and all-around entertainer. Starting his career early, a young Chevalier worked as a circus acrobat, moving on to the stage and early movies. After World War I, Chevalier returned to the stage and film, making his first Hollywood musical, Innocents of Paris in 1929. Chevalier earned an honorary Oscar in 1958 and continued to entertain until the time of his death.
Signature ("Maurice Chevalier"). n.p., n.d. Signature and inscription "Very good -- Bravo!" appear beneath a charming Rosen caricature of Chevalier. Matted and framed with a black and white portrait of Chevalier and a small plaque, overall size is 24 x 20". There is very minor, very faint soil on the caricature's surface that is noticeable only on close examination. Very good to near fine condition -- a nice display piece.
Estimated Value $300 - 400.
