Lot 701
Porter, Cole (1891-1964) American composer, songwriter of "Night and Day," "I've Got You Under My Skin," and numerous Broadway musicals. Black and white photograph signed, 7 x 5 in. Very fine. A professional studio portrait of a fairly young Porter by Hal Phyfe (1892-1968), whose name is embossed at the bottom of the photograph, and whose stamp appears on the back of the photo. Phyfe opened his first studio in 1926 at 7th and Madison (probably the same location as the address on the back), and remained there until about 1950, when he moved to 980-990 Madison Avenue. This photograph was likely taken in the 1930s, at the height of Cole Porter's career.
Estimated Value $900 - 1,200.
