FORD & COLMAN: FORD JOHN (1894-1973) American film director, Academy Award winner & COLMAN RONALD (1891-1958) English actor, Academy Award winner. A good, unusual vintage signed and inscribed 13.5 x 10.5 photograph by both Ford and Colman individually, the image depicting Ford standing in a three-quarter length profile pose, smoking a pipe, opposite Ronald Colman standing in a three-quarter length pose in costume as Dr. Martin Arrowsmith, with another gentleman, Dr. Harry W. Martin, stood in a three-quarter length pose between them, surrounded by laboratory apparatus on the set of the drama film Arrowsmith (1931). Signed by Ford in fountain pen ink to a light area of the image with an inscription to Martin, 'To Dr. Martin - Many thanks Harry for your help on "Arrowsmith", Jack Ford', and signed by Colman to a darker area of the image, also with an inscription to Martin, 'To Dr. Harry W. Martin, "Doc" Arrowsmith thanks you most sincerely for your help and guidance, Ronald Colman'. Ford's signature and inscription are a little light in places although are legible. Some minor silvering to the corners of the image and with a heavy crease to the lower right corner, otherwise about VG
