Marx, Harpo. (1888 - 1964). Signed Self-Portrait Drawing on his recording of "Stardust.".

Large original autograph and drawing in Harpo's hand in yellow crayon over the face of his actual LP recording of "Stardust," RCA Victor #P-320. The other side includes his "Tea for Two" rendition. Sadly cracked in several places, but all the pieces have been neatly fit together and mounted to a rigid backing and framed. From a remarkable collection of in-person obtained autographs in this same LP format. 13 x 13 inches (33 x 33 cm).

The second-born of the Marx Brothers, Harpo was a unique comic performer whose style was influenced by clown and pantomime traditions of a previous era. He was well known by his trademark big, poofy, curly hair, his top hat, and a horn and although he never talked during performances (although he often blew a horn or whistled to communicate), he frequently used props (such as a walking stick with a built-in bulb horn), and he played the harp. Many film buffs argue that the lovable mute was in fact the funniest of the Marx Brothers without ever saying a word. Harpo officially became a mime after a theater critic supposedly noted that he was brilliant…until his character spoke. Harpo never uttered another sound.
