Extremely rare vintage 8x10-inch black and white portrait, boldly signed in black fountain pen in 1928. In good condition for its age, with gentle edge wear. Before his death of tuberculosis at the age of 50, nasty-looking English stage and screen actor Jameson Thomas played typically unsavory, scheming or downright nasty authority figures in classic films like Jungle Woman (1926), The Farmer's Wife (1928), Piccadilly (1929), The Devil Plays (1931), James Whale's The Invisible Man (1933), It Happened One Night (1934), The Scarlet Empress (1934), Jane Eyre (1934), The Man Who Reclaimed His Head (1934), Charlie Chan in Egypt (1935), The Lady in Scarlet (1935), The Lives of Bengal Lancer (1935), Mr. Deeds Goes to Town (1936), and The League of Frightened Men (1937).
