Signatures by BULL, Charles Edward (1881-1971) and DORGAN, N. Louise (?-?)

This Reno, Nevada justice of the peace was better known as an Abraham Lincoln impersonator, appearing in such silent films as the 1924 John Ford drama "The Iron Horse" and the 1927 Lloyd Bacon drama "The Heart of Maryland." Handsome "Chas. E. Bull / 'alias' / 'A. Lincoln' / 2-10-'30" in black ink on a heavy stock 4" X 2¼" card, n.p. Near fine. Slight mounting traces on verso. Bull of course mimics Lincoln's actual "A. Lincoln" signature on the third line. Also, a signature and inscription from Dorgan, who often appeared with Bull. Heavy stock 4" X 2¼" card, n.p., 1930 February 6. Near fine. Tiny mounting traces on verso. Bold, handsome "N. Louise Dorgan / alias / Mary Todd Lincoln / 2-6-30." A fun and unusual pair.
