Exceedingly rare and enticing vintage 8x10-inch black and white portrait by Maurice Seymour, boldly signed and inscribed in blue fountain pen in the late 1940s or early 1950s. In good condition, with some trivial surface crinkles, virtually invisible when the photo is viewed head-on. Burlesque legend, popular girly magazine model and occasional film actress Lilly "The Cat Girl" Christine died tragically of peritonitis at age 41.
