ORIGINAL 1976 MARK SENNET 'ALFRED HITCHCOCK ON SET OF FAMILY PLOT' GELATIN SILVER SIGNED PHOTOGRAPH

This is a wonderful original.  For those that have been following my store, I have been buying and offering more and more photography over the last few years.  I actually have been buying for my personal collection as well.  This is one of those photographs I was thinking about keeping for my personal collection.  However, I am not as big of a fan of Alfred Hitchcock as most people, so I thought this would be an incredible addition to someone else's collection.  This is a scarce original Mark Sennet Gelatin Silver photograph of Alfred Hitchcock.  For those not familiar with the photographer, I have included his biography below.  This is just a wonderful original contact print of 3 images of Hitchcock.  On Sennet's website he described this photograph:

“In 1976, Hitch was working on his final film, ‘Family Plot.’ He had been ill and had a pacemaker put in. I asked him out of the blue, ‘Would you show me your pacemaker?’ He said ‘Of course, dear boy.’ He’s unbuttoning his shirt to show me the scar…it broke the ice and we hung out for the rest of the day.”

  This is an original photograph with the image measuring 12 x 3 3/4 inches.  Outstanding as printed condition.  Signed, dated, and titled in pen along the right margin by Sennet.  Really just a wonderful presentation of this rare photograph.  I have seen you can purchase fine art prints of this image but not the original photograph anywhere.  Archival matte and black frame are complimentary and ready to hang.  Frame measures 18 3/4 x 10 1/4 inches.

For those not familiar with the photographer his biography from one of his more recent exhibitions reads: "Sennet began his career by being at the right place at the wrong time while covering New York City's Italian American Civil Rights League rally as a freelance photojournalist in June 1971. That day, crime family boss Joe Colombo was shot and seriously injured. Standing next to Sennet, wearing press credentials from the league and disguised as another photojournalist was the assassin who shot Colombo. "This guy opens a briefcase by the fountain at Columbus Circle and he pulls out his gun and walks over and shoots Colombo right in front of me," Sennet recalled. "I hit the deck...I didn't know what to do. I instinctively thought 'I better take a picture.'"

That photograph, purchased by the Associated Press, launched a career that spanned 30 years, which included work at the London Daily Express, a 28-year career at Time-Life, and contracts from both the Australian and New Zealand Tourist Boards to photograph their respective countries. While at the London Daily Express, Sennet covered five Royal Tours, including Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Charles, and other royal family members, as well as the White House during Watergate, where he became friendly with then-Vice President Gerald Ford. In recent years, he was requested to cover the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. Sennet has many stories to go with the pictures, including the friendships he struck with many of his subjects, the history made as photos were taken, and how he snuck on to closed movie sets to shoot without permission."
