Lot 242
Henry Fonda: Vintage Original Collection of 10 Personal and Family Photo Collages Including Jane, Peter, wife Francis, The Tyrone Powers and More (1905-1982) Henry Fonda was a stage and screen actor who enjoyed a career spanning 50 years and starred in a great many classic films of Hollywood. He was nominated for two Best Actor Oscars and won for ON GOLDEN POND. In 1936 Fonda married Francis Seymour Brokaw and had two children, Jane and Peter Fonda, both celebrated actors and producers in their own rights. This lot is a collage of personal photos from about 1940-41 that were professionally mounted on acid free mat boards, possibly at one time framed. There are about 20 photos of celebrities at events, including Tyrone Power, Gary Cooper, Alice Faye, Darryl Zanuck, Cesar Romero and Joan Crawford. But most of the photos are of Henry Fonda with Jane and individual photos of Jane no older than two, possibly three, years of age, along with pictures of other family members, including Brokaw. There are two boards of skiing in Snow Valley and photos with Tyrone Power, his wife and children. Also included, unrelated to Fonda, are three boards of photos from the 1935 film version of LES MISERABLES which starred Fredric March, Charles Laughton and Francis Drake. It is possible these boards were put together for Fonda by 20th Century Fox, given so many Fox stars are visible socializing with Fonda, as well as several images of Darryl Zanuck. About 90 photos total in this collection, all are clearly rare and in near flawless condition as they were extremely well archived. Boards meausure 21 x 16", the photos range in sizes but on average 3 x 4". Estimate Value $600 - UP
