Extremely scarce matte-finish 5.5 x 9-inch black and white portrait of the Italian dictator of the World War II era, affixed along its top edge to a 9.75 x 14-inch cream-colored mount, boldly signed in black fountain pen and dated 1928. In fine condition, with a light band of silvering along the top edge of the image and mild handling bends on the mount, one bend very slightly intruding into the background of the image on the left side, barely visible when the photograph is viewed head-on.
