Tough to acquire vintage signature and iconic self-caricature in black ink on a roughly 2.5 x 4.5-inch off-white slip, which we believe was trimmed from the close of a letter, dating to the 1960s. In good condition, with gentle toning. Deliciously macabre five-time Oscar nominated director Alfred Hitchcock, who was posthumously recognized by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films in 1994, is remembered by fans of the genre for Psycho (1960), The Birds (1963) and his T.V. series, “Alfred Hitchcock Presents” (1955-1961). His countless classic films in other genres, many of which involved aspects of horror, included Sabotage (1936), The Lady Vanishes (1938), Rebecca (1940), Foreign Correspondent (1940), Suspicion (1941), Saboteur (1942), Shadow of a Doubt (1943), Lifeboat (1944), Spellbound (1945), Notorious (1946), Rope (1948), Strangers on a Train (1951), I Confess (1953), Dial M for Murder (1954), Rear Window (1954), To Catch a Thief (1955), The Trouble with Harry (1955), The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956), The Wrong Man (1956), Vertigo (1958), North by Northwest (1959), Marnie (1964), and Torn Curtain (1966).
