Summary
| Description | Publicity photo of American entertainer, Bert Lahr , circa 1940s. (Note: Earliest record of publication found for an alternate image from the same photo-session (see bottom image of original upload) is dated 1948. However, it remains unclear if this can be interpreted as an indication of the year the image was first created.) |

| Author | It is difficult to trace the history of the image to a single author, as various versions of this image (or others from the same photo-session) appear to have been distributed numerous times by numerous publicity agencies. However, the earliest record of distribution of an alternate image from the same photo-session appears to have been by Bill Doll & Company for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (see bottom image of original upload) |
