Description
Black-and-white studio portrait photograph of a bearded man in a plaid double-breasted suit, printed with the name “MERLIN OLSEN” along the bottom margin. A bold black marker inscription reads “to Shirley + Art – Still going strong!” across the chest, followed by a large signature. Signature/marking present as shown; attribution not verified. Inquire for details.
The photograph is printed on glossy stock against a mottled sepia-toned studio backdrop typical of publicity portraits from the era. The printed name block at the bottom identifies the subject, while the inscription and signature are applied in heavy black felt-tip marker directly over the suit jacket.
The photograph shows overall toning and scattered foxing spots, most visible on the reverse, along with light edge wear and a small crease near the lower left corner. The image and inscription remain fully legible with no tearing or loss.
