Ray Walston Autograph Appraisal

Autographed Ray Walston Publicity Portrait

This is a matted and framed black-and-white publicity photograph of the Emmy Award-winning American actor Ray Walston. The portrait is a close-up headshot showing Walston in a formal suit and tie with a serious, intense expression. The subject's age in the photo suggests it dates from the late 1960s to mid-1970s. On the lower left side of the photograph, there is an inscription in black ink that reads: 'To Dennis - Good luck with the bike - Ray Walston.' The signature features Walston's characteristic fluid handwriting style. The photograph is housed in a contemporary medium-oak wood frame featuring a multi-tiered decorative profile. It is secured behind glass with a thin white mat board. The photographic paper appears to be in good condition without visible silvering or yellowing, though the contrast is sharp with a dramatic light-and-shadow composition. The frame is in very good condition with no visible chips or significant scratches in the wood grain.
