Nifty original vintage 8x10-inch Columbia Pictures publicity portrait by Irving Lippman, showing the three-time Oscar-winning director visiting fellow moviemakers Robert Riskin and Harry Lachman on the set of their 1937 hit When You're In Love (1937), boldly signed and inscribed by Capra in red felt-tip pen in the 1980s. In good condition, overall, with creasing to three corner tips; scattered mild thumbing bends, all virtually invisible when the photo is viewed head-on; and a studio snipe affixed to the verso.
