Signed photograph of the handsome American actor, ca. 1959. We have seen other related images (same tie and jacket) identified as having been promotional materials for Alfred Hitchcock's North By North West. Signed and inscribed "To Eddie Blake, cordially / Cary Grant". In very fine condition. 5.75 x 4 inches.
From the collection of Eddie Blake, projectionist at the United Kingdom's Shepperton film studios. Founded in 1931, it reopened after the war at the helm of Sir Alexander Korda - among the films in which he was involved during this period were The Fallen Idol (1948) and film noir classic, The Third Man (1949) which was shot both on location and at the studios. An avid autograph collector, Blake developed relationships with many of the leading actors and film composers of the period.
