Cat. #00148123: ANNETTE HANSHAW

Sorry, this item has already been sold.

Exceedingly rare vintage 5x7-inch black and white portrait, boldly signed and inscribed in white fountain pen in her heyday in the 1930s. In good condition for its age. Legendary jazz and pop singer Annette Hanshaw was one of the most popular female vocalists of the 1930s, performing producing over 250 sweet and moving recordings of tunes like "Lover Come Back to Me," "I Get the Blues When It Rains," "Mean to Me," "Ho Hum," "Say It Isn't So," and "You Wouldn't Fool Me, Would You?" She stopped performing at the end of 1937 and declared in an interview many decades later that she despised show business, was terrified of performing in public, and loathed the sound of her own voice. This is just the fifth example of her autograph we have encountered in over 35 years.
