Description

FACE TO FACE (Swedish: Ansikte mot Ansikte) 8x10 inch film promotional photo (a reduced reproduction of the film's poster) with the ORIGINAL SIGNATURE and PERSONALIZED INSCRIPTION of INGMAR BERGMAN, the film's director. The inscription is not dated but is likely circa 1976, the year the film was released. This 8x10 inch poster repro is printed on Kodak photo paper.
HAND SIGNED and INSCRIBED in SWEDISH by INGMAR BERGMAN in black felt pen on the left margin of the photo. The inscription reads:
“TILL PETER DANKERS MED HJÄRTLIGT TACK FÖR DREV FR (Från) INGMAR BERGMAN”.
The English Translation is: “TO PETER DANKERS WITH HEARTFELT THANKS FOR THE DRIVE FR (from) INGMAR BERGMAN”.
INGMAR BERGMAN'S SIGNATURE is RARE, his INSCRIPTION very much so, and his INSCRIPTION in SWEDISH is both rare and incredible, imho.
VERY GOOD condition, the upper front corner tip is creased and starting to peel, there is a 2 inch piece of clear tape on the backside near the top edge, otherwise solid and bright. Would look amazing matted and framed.
INGMAR BERGMAN, b. 1918 d. 2007, was one of the greatest film directors of all time. You can read about him and his films all over the Internet.
The SIGNATURE and INSCRIPTION of INGMAR BERGMAN are FULLY GUARANTEED to be AUTHENTIC and come with our CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY.
Our GUARANTEE compared to an Authentication Service COA:
Bookpath fully GUARANTEES signatures it sells. How does our Guarantee compare to the COA of an Authentication Service? (1) WE GUARANTEE THE AUTHENTICITY OF A SIGNATURE FOR LIFE. Some authentication services do not. Instead, they claim that a signature has been determined by experts to be authentic, but do not back that claim with a lifetime guarantee. (2) WE CAREFULLY AND SELECTIVELY CHOOSE ONLY A SMALL NUMBER OF SIGNED ITEMS TO RESEARCH AND OFFER, and those are in areas in which we have experience and are familiar. We believe our experience, research, familiarity, and authentication practices, as it is applied to a limited number of signatures, is able to truly verify authentic signatures. People working for authentication services often see hundreds of signatures a day, in a wide variety of fields. By necessity they need to process and pass quick judgement on signatures, many of which they have no personal familiarity. (3) WE TAKE TIME TO CAREFULLY ANALYZE AND PERFORM COMPARISONS, CLOSE EXAMINATIONS, RESEARCH, ETC., ON SIGNATURES WE OFFER. Most authentication services have little time to research a signature, unless you pay a large fee for their time. Theirs is primarily a piece work business, the more signatures they process, the more money they make. (4) NO AUTHENTICATOR CAN KNOW WITH 100% ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY THAT A SIGNATURE IS TRULY HAND SIGNED BY THE INDIVIDUAL WHOSE SIGNATURE IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE, UNLESS THEY WERE THERE WHEN IT WAS HAND SIGNED BY THAT INDIVIDUAL, no matter what anyone claims. That is why we offer a LIFETIME GUARANTEE. (5) WE DO NOT AUTHENTICATE SIGNATURES FOR ANY THIRD PARTY TO AVOID CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. Conflicts abound when auction houses and other major sellers of signatures rely on professional authentication services to increase the value of signatures they are selling, and when the professional authentication services they use rely on them for a steady stream of income. We research, authenticate and guarantee our signatures ONLY for OUR BUYERS. There is no pressure from third parties to authenticate, and no third party wall between the authenticator and the buyer. (6) OUR GUARANTEE DOES NOT COME WITH A CATCH-22. If an authentication service offers a guarantee, ask what experts can dispute a signature in order to activate that guarantee. Sometimes it is only their own experts, or that of a friendly colleague, that can. A Catch-22. Our GUARANTEE can be used at any time simply by presenting any reasonable claim that a signature is not authentic, and by returning the item in the condition it was sent. (7) DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH, WE DO. It is the best way to make sure a signature you are buying is authentic. Research sellers and buy only from those you trust, COA or no COA. Remember that without a guarantee a COA is only a piece of paper. Research items you are buying, especially the signatures. Ask questions. Study identification techniques. In our opinion it is your own research of signatures and sellers that will best help you find authentic signatures. Plus you will have fun, learn a lot, and become your own autograph expert.
