CONRAD VEIDT Small b/w 6×5 bust photograph of actor Conrad Veidt in a black jacket and sweater, signed and dated “with all my best wishes” in 1939. Affixed to a blue album leaf. Veidt is best remembered in the U. For playing Major Strasser in Casablanca. Inscribed photograph signed: To/L. Hurst/with all/my best/wishes/ Conrad Veidt /1939. B/w, 6×5 with rounded edges. Affixed with 6¼x5¼ album leaf. Caligari (1920) and Different from the Others (1919), a pioneering gay rights film with Veidt as the gay protagonist. Veidt fled Germany in 1933 with his Jewish wife. (He had also named himself as Jewish on German questionnaires as a form of protest) Veidt found a new niche in British and American films, playing the very kind of German he detested. Veidt’s probably best remembered in the U. As Major Strasser in Casablanca (1942). His other English-language film appearances included The Spy in Black (1937) and Nazi Agent (1942). He died of a sudden heart attack in 1943, during a round of golf. Lightly toned, creased and bowed. Signature has poor adhesion in places but is legible. Photo is lightly cracked and silvered, has light chipping at top edge and on image near right edge and light scuff marks on image (not visible head-on). Album leaf is lightly rippled, has paper loss on verso with show-through at top edge and was neatly torn from binding at left edge. Otherwise in fine condition. See more material from these signers.
