Scarce Oversized Original Genuine Sketch of “Harvey” STEWART, James (1908-1997). Great American actor, Academy Award Winner. Stewart starred on Broadway as Elwood P. Dowd in “Harvey” and reappeared in the same role in the 1950 film of the same name. In the early 1970’s he returned to Broadway in a revival of Harvey. Stewart received an Oscar nomination for this role. White artist board appx. 11”x16”. Drawn with a blue ink marker is a huge sketch of “Harvey: a rabbit’s head with large stripped bow tie. This is Stewart’s rendition of the invisible rabbit Harvey in the film of the same name. Stewart has identified the sketch as “Harvey”, and inscribed this sketch: “To Chance, James Stewart.” A while back we checked the last 17 Harvey sketches offered in the autograph market. Out of the 17 only one dealer admitted theirs was not an original sketch. In our opinion, only two were found to be genuine. The individual who started forging Stewart’s “Harvey” did not use a genuine example as an exemplar. Thus, the market for years, has been flooded with non genuine Harvey sketches. The example offered here is 100% genuine........$675.00 |
