This is an eight-page program from famed French mime MarcelMarceau, from Ronald W. Wilford Associates Inc. On the back side is a FULL page drawing of "Bip", Marceau's most famous character and one he was known to use in signing programs. I have seen many of his drawings and most are the face and flower pot hat, or just the head of the character -- this is one is a full torso drawing, with Bip with a flower in his mouth, wearing the always present striped shirt. This is signed in the same black ink by Marceau and also signed with the character name "BIP" by him with a flower by the initials. The drawing takes up the entire back cover as you can see from the scan. The program contains a history and biography, photos and a list of the artist's repertoire in performance. This has one small cover tear on the front right side midway up the page, otherwise in nice condition. I was not present when this was signed but I have no reason to believe this is not an authentic drawing and signature - however, t will be no COA as I am not an expert. It looks exactly like other signatures and drawings done by Marceau. Winning bidder to pay $3.00 for flat pack shipping via US Mail. Insurance is available for $1.65. Good luck and thanks for your bid.
