Louis Armstrong Signed Candid Photograph
Vintage glossy 3.5 x 3.5 candid photo of Louis Armstrong, who has signed in blue felt tip. The lower border bears an affixed name label, and the reverse bears "A Kodak Paper" watermarks. In fine condition.
From the autograph collection of Ilia Gonzalez, who began collecting as a child in Santa Monica after discovering celebrities rehearsing for the Academy Awards at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium. As an adult, Gonzalez photographed celebrities at award shows, movie premieres, television tapings, parades, fundraisers, and other events, often obtaining their autographs directly on her photographs, sometimes with the help of her mother. With the exception of a Charlie Chaplin photograph that Gonzalez later mailed to him in Switzerland for signing, the signed photographs in her collection were obtained in her presence.
