The Wizard Of Oz - Spectacular Collection of Autographs/Photos of the Stars Including Judy Garland and Margaret Hamilton. The Wizard of Oz, one of the most beloved of all MGM musicals and arguably one of the most historically significant building blocks of American pop-culture, beloved by generations since its premiere in 1939. Offered in this lot are 8 autographs, 5 signed photos representing the lead cast and director. First a beautiful cut signature of Judy Garland signed in black fountain pen, matted with a beautiful re-strike 8" x 10" portrait of Garland as Dorothy Gale. Next a trimmed 7¼" x 8" vintage original MGM Studios publicity still stamped on verso Frank Morgan, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer inscribed and signed by the star (who portrayed five characters in the film including The Wizard) in black fountain pen and quite rare. Photo is single-weight, crazing throughout from age, but signature and inscription nice. Margaret Hamilton, forever a legend portraying the Wicked Witch of the West (and terrorizing millions of kids) inscribed and signed a vintage re-strike 10" x 8" of a memorable scene as the witch, first writing over the paper in her hand "A Warning for Damon. Read!" and then inscribed and signed in lower left corner " For Damon -Witchie Wishes -WWW Film - from Margaret Hamilton" all in excellent condition. Jack Haley portrayed the "Tin Man" and signed a vintage 8" x 10" restrike boldly across the chest of his costume as "The Tin Man, Jack Haley" and in excellent condition. Next a 7" x 9" vintage original photo of Ray Bolger with a beautiful inscription and bold signature in black fountain pen, who memorably played the Scarecrow, his remarkable dancing skills on full display. Bert Lahr in full costume as The Cowardly Lion in this beautiful 8" x 10" re-strike matted along side a bold signature clearly lifted from a legal contract signed in blue fountain pen. Glinda The Good Witch, Billie Burke is represented here by a hand-tinted 3¼" x 5¼" photo very nicely signed in black fountain pen. Finally a signature on card by the producer of the film, Mervyn LeRoy (who is also listed as one of four uncredited directors) This is a wonderful collection for fans of one of the most influential and loved films in history.
