The four Marx Brothers in the year of Monkey Business
MARX BROTHERS THE: An excellent vintage signed and inscribed sepia 10 x 8 photograph by all four Marx Brothers individually, comprising Groucho (1890-1977), Chico (1887-1961), Harpo (1888-1964) and Zeppo (1901-1979), the image depicting the comedians seated in a row in full-length poses, each in their familiar costumes. Signed by Groucho, Chico (adding Sincerely Yours in his hand to the upper white border) and Zeppo in blue fountain pen inks with their first names and signed by Harpo in black fountain pen ink with a full signature, all to clear areas of the image. With an ink inscription and date, 16th January 1931, to the left white border. A wonderful signed image, both rare and desirable in this form. One small area of paper loss to the upper left corner, a few minor corner creases and one surface crease running across Chico's image. About VG In the same year as signing the present photograph, The Marx Brothers released their third movie, Monkey Business, considered one of their best and funniest films.
