This is a touching, inscribed presentation drawing from Zeigfeld Follies illustrator, Henry Clive, to Alfred Cheney Johnston, the legendary long time Follies photographer. Johnston was a leading 1920s movie and performist portrait photographer.

I have several vintage 1920s examples of his photography currently listed in the Photographs and Prints category on this site.
