Hurrell Limited Edition Photo of James Cagney. Striking, oversized, 20 x 24 in. close-up from "Boy Meets Girl," signed by Hurrell in lower right border and numbered 40/190 in lower left white border. This is an original black and white, double-weight silver gelatin close-up portrait taken in 1938 by Hurrell (1904-1992), the award-winning, pre-eminent 20th century celebrity photographer. Pristine condition. Cagney (1899-1936) normally played tough guys, but "Boy Meets Girl" was a comedy; another movie he made in 1938, "Angels With Dirty Faces," in which he played a gangster, garnered him an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor.
Estimated Value $700 - 900.
