Early Photograph Inscribed by Herbert Mills of The Mills Brothers

1929.

Price: $500.00

Unbound. Sepia toned gelatin silver photograph. Approximately 8" x 10". Image of the three brothers admiring their father John Mills, Sr. playing the guitar. Faint crease in bottom corner, very good or better. Ink note indicating that the photograph is from 1929, and the inscription from 1941. Inscribed by Herbert Mills: "To our true Hartford friend Pete Grasso Success to you always. Sincerely, Mills Bros." Herbert Mills has also signed the names of each of the band members on their pant legs. We think the date of 1929 is likely incorrect, as John Mills, Sr. didn't officially join the group until 1936, upon the sudden death of John Mills, Jr. A nice, relatively early image.
