Lillian Gish & Mary Pickford Signed Photos – COA JSA

This item originates from the Roy Moseley collection. Moseley was one of the leaders in show business journalism in England. He wrote many books that appeared on the New York Time’s Best Seller List. Being an author in high regard had its perks, as he was closely connected to royalty and celebrities. Hence his notable work, “My Stars and Other Friends” provides a glimpse into the lifestyle us everyday people dream about. During his career, Moseley brilliantly gathered in person some of the finest autographs in the world. Some were personalized to him as a testament to their respect and kinship. Every celebrity has a story as well as every autograph Moseley obtained. Here now is one of those legacy pieces for your collection.

From his collection are these three signed photos . The first is a black and white 8×10 featuring a solid bold silver signature of Mary Pickford in a large hat. It was signed and personalized by Pickford, “Roy – Cordially.” There’s some glue residue on the verso.

The second Mary Pickford signed photo is a bit smaller at 5×7 and features Mary with her husband Charles Buddy Rogers. The photo was taken in June of 1961 at Middlebury College where she earned an honorary Doctor of Humanities degree. Along with Pickford’s autograph, Buddy also signed the photo in black felt tip. Buddy added the joyous salutation, “Roy”.

Lastly, another signed Hollywood photo from Roy’s collection is a black and white 8×10 of Lillian Gish. Gish signed her black and white studio portrait in blue felt tip and added the inscription, “To Roy – Every good wish.”
