Scarce, choice vintage 8x10-inch sepia-tone portrait by Coburn, looking dapper in his prime, with a cigarette adangle between his fingers, boldly signed and inscribed in blue ballpoint pen in the early 1950s. In good condition, with gentle edge wear. Handsome leading man Tyrone Power was memorable in classic films like In Old Chicago (1937), Alexander's Ragtime Band (1938), Suez (1938), Jesse James (1939), Rose of Washington Square (1939), The Rains Came (1939), Johnny Apollo (1940), The Mark of Zorro (1940), Blood and Sand (1941), The Black Swan (1942), The Razor's Edge (1946), Nightmare Alley (1948), That Wonderful Urge (1948), and Witness for the Prosecution (1957). He died of a heart attack at the age of 44 and his autograph is rather elusive in authentic format, while secretarial examples abound.
