Jackie Coogan (1914–1984) — original large‑format British publicity portrait, produced by Evans L.F. for UK editorial use c.1921–1923, during Coogan’s peak fame following The Kid. This is not a postcard: the sheet measures c.180 × 225 mm (7 x 9\"), the standard size for British magazine‑use gravure/photographic prints of the period.
The photograph carries a genuine period inscription:“To Cinemagazine with good wishes from Jackie Coogan” This matches known practice of Coogan sending personalised signed prints to film periodicals for promotional use. Cinemagazine was an active UK publication in the early 1920s, making this a strong contextual fit.
Printed credits: “Jackie Coogan” (lower left) and “Evans L.F.”, confirming London‑market production. The image shows Coogan in his characteristic early‑1920s cap and coat, consistent with post‑The Kid publicity.
A scarce large‑format signed British publicity print, significantly rarer than postcard‑size Coogan material.
Condition as photos. All items can be returned for a full refund if found to be not as described.
