Frank Sinatra & Lucille Ball Vintage 8x10 by Art Weissman *RARE*

A Golden Age Rarity: The "Doodlers" of Ciro’s

A stunning, authentic piece of Hollywood history. This is not a reprint or a modern reproduction. It is an original mid-century silver gelatin photograph captured by renowned Hollywood photojournalist Art Weissman.

The Moment: Captured at the legendary Ciro's on the Sunset Strip, this photo shows two icons—Frank Sinatra and Lucille Ball—intently focused on a "doodling" contest held for the club's patrons. Note the exquisite detail: Lucy holding a vintage flashlight to guide Sinatra’s pen, the cigarette ashtrays, and the palpable "after-hours" atmosphere of the 1950s elite.

The Reverse: The back of the photo features the iconic "Art Weissman Photo" purple stamp and a rare, typed archival snippet describing the event.

Condition Report: Please let the generously-sized scans/photos of each that I will be providing do most of the talking as regards condition and content. Unless otherwise stated, the images shown are of the actual item you are bidding on. As always, if you see something that I have mis-stated or other mistakes in my listings, please let me know so that I can update it with the corrected information. If you have any questions about any items offered, please ask before you bid and before the auction has ended.

Collector’s Note: Original Weissman candids of this caliber, featuring two Tier-1 stars together, are increasingly rare. This is a foundational piece for any serious Sinatra, Lucy, or "Old Hollywood" memorabilia collection.
