The masters of the straight man/clown relationship, Abbott & Costello rose out of burlesque to become one of the greatest and most successful comedy teams in history. With immortal bits such as "Who's On First" and a pioneering show in the early days of television, their comedy continues to attract fans of all ages. This is a vintage 8" x 10" black and white press photo of the famous comedic duo of Abbott & Costello, vintage signed and inscribed in black fountain pen, "To our pal Jim Collins, from your pals, Bud Abbott, Lou Costello." The photo has been nicely matted and framed to 13" x 16". Signatures and inscription grade an overall 8-9. Accompanied by a LOA from James Spence Authentication.
