Holiday, Billie. (1915–1959). Signed Photograph. Signed 8 x 10 inch glossy Murray Korman promotional photograph of the legendary jazz singer, shown leaning on her hands and adorned with her trademark gardenia flowers. She has signed and inscribed at the lower left. N.d. [1945]. Small stain and smudge affecting inscription, tiny pinhole to upper margin, scattered creases and wear, overall very good. 8 x 10 inches.
Revered as one of the greatest and most individual vocalists in the history of blues and jazz, Holiday died from cirrhosis of the liver at the age of 44. Signed photographs of her are very scarce and this is the only signed example of this remarkable image we have encountered.
