An original 3.5x5.5" vintage photo from a huge collection of over 400 celebrity (mostly British) hand-signed autographs that we acquired from the estate of a collector named Grace who collected all of the autographs through mail and in person.
We are confident in the autograph's authenticity and are happy to warranty your purchase to this fact. Professionally packaged in a rigid mailer for safe delivery.
Photo Overview
Candid outdoor portrait of Roy Hudd smiling in a double-breasted coat, inscribed in blue felt-tip to Grace and boldly signed across the image. The reverse carries the Roy Hudd Fan Club stamp with Hathersage, Sheffield address, placing the photo in the UK and dating to the early 1970s; size approx 10x8 inches.
Roy Hudd was a much-loved British comedian, actor, and music-hall historian, best known for fronting the long-running BBC Radio 2 series The News Huddlines and for championing British variety. He later appeared in Coronation Street and was awarded an OBE for services to entertainment. Original hand-signed pieces from this era do not last long with collectors, so secure this one now before it is gone.

Print analysis: Period UK fan-club back stamp and contemporary felt-tip autograph strongly indicate an early 1970s publicity print distributed by the fan club. Likely produced within a few years of capture, so Type 1 original photographic print.
Condition: In good vintage condition. Please see scans of the image we have provided for the most accurate and complete state of the photo.
