Lot 33 Brazil #385 200R Violet Allegory of Faith and Energy, Usage on Fine Fan Cover to Actor Humphrey Bogart, Net Est. $30

A fine fan cover sent to famous actor Humphrey Bogart in what appears to be June 1935, though the cancel is quite faint, so it could be 1938 or 1939. Bogart is best known for his role in Casablanca, but was in so many movies, as he averaged a movie every 2 months between 1936 and 1940. This cover would have been sent to him around the time that he was working the demanding contract for Warner Brothers, and before he met actress Lauren Bacall (lot 26) in 1944, whom he would later marry. You can read more about him here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humphrey_Bogart. The backflap is missing and there is some edge creasing along the top, but this is a great cover to one of the most iconic Hollywood actors of this era. Net est. $30.
