Steal This Deal Chaplin, Charlie. (1889-1977) Signed Sketch As Tramp Online Exclusive [Pqk1Rbnv]

Extraordinary original vintage signed fountain pen sketch of his instantly-recognizable Little Tramp character on a 4 x 8 inch album page, signed and dated "Charlie Chaplin / Augu 22nd 1920.” The present signature was obtained in Utah, while Chaplin was filming "The Kid," regarded by many as his most perfect and most personal film.


Chaplin first introduced the Tramp when director Mack Sennett requested that he don comic make-up for a film called Mabel’s Strange Predicament. He later admitted in his autobiography, “The moment I was dressed, the clothes and makeup made me feel the person he was. I began to know him, and by the time I walked onstage he was fully born.”
