Pick a Jolson forget-me-not with this boldly signed album page. This clean and solid page is affixed with a period photo clipping of the early 1900s mega-star and features an arresting ("8-9") strength Jolson autograph.
Clap your hands and tap your feet, because Robinson (d.1949) is still here with this precious signature cut.
