1947 NBC Parade of Stars Caricature by Sam Berman of HAL PEARY! Authentic, Vintage Ink Signature of the Celebrity Measures 6” x 7” The caricature with vintage, ink fountain pen signature being offered in this listing is: "To Betty Jones from Uncle Mort - Best - Hal 'Gildersleeve' Peary" SEE SCANS! This signature was acquired by Betty Jones, an employee of NBC studios in 1947. The caricature is a vintage print. The autograph is genuine. This item is truly a one-of-a-kind collectible. I have seen these promotional cards before, but never signed by the celebrity. I have several others being listed for sale – many big names, so please take a look at my other listings. Background: In 1947, the National Broadcasting Company (NBC), hired the renowned caricaturist Sam Berman to illustrate their promotional portfolio "NBC Parade of Stars, As Heard Over Your Favorite NBC Station", which would be distributed by local stations to publicize NBC Radio's 1947-48 programing. Under a tight deadline, Berman somehow created 56 lush, full color images, brilliantly caricaturing & bringing to life NBC's most popular radio personalities and shows, each printed on a separate 6x7 card, and inserted in a green vinyl slipcase. The images created by Berman for the NBC portfolio represent perhaps a last visual look at the golden age of network radio.
