Description from the seller
Louis Jourdan – Original Signed Vanguard Studio Publicity Postcard – c. 1949
Original black-and-white publicity postcard featuring French actor Louis Jourdan, issued by Vanguard Studio in Culver City, California. The postcard was mailed from the United States to Belgium in July 1949 as a response to a fan request.
The postcard bears a handwritten dedication reading "Sincerely", followed by a Louis Jourdan signature in black ink. The ink sits visibly on top of the photographic surface and displays natural line variation and pen pressure, consistent with a hand-signed autograph rather than a printed facsimile. Please note that authentication cannot be guaranteed based on photographs alone.
