Vintage black-and-white portrait photograph featuring legendary American singer and actor Bing Crosby during his early Hollywood career.
Crosby is shown wearing a classic ribbed turtleneck sweater in a striking studio portrait with dramatic lighting. The image appears to date from the 1930s, when Crosby was establishing himself as one of America’s leading recording, radio and motion-picture stars. His major period of multimedia success began during the 1930s, supporting the general era attribution, although the exact year of this image has not been confirmed. Hollywood Walk of Fame
The photograph measures approximately 8 x 10 inches and has a glossy finish. The reverse is identified in pencil as “Bing Crosby” and also contains handwritten inventory-style numbers, including “475.”
There is no visible studio stamp, photographer’s credit or dated caption on the reverse. Therefore, the photographer, studio, exact production year and generation of the print cannot be conclusively verified.
Condition: Good vintage condition with light age-related handling wear, minor edge and corner wear, and slight discoloration. No major tears or heavy creases are visible. Please examine all provided photographs carefully for the exact condition.
Collector Provenance
This photograph was acquired as part of a large private collection assembled by a longtime collector of vintage Hollywood photographs, including studio publicity portraits and motion-picture stills. No third-party authentication has been performed.
