Condition: Good. Original photograph. 9.5 x 7.5 inches. "To David ". . . Signed by both. Glazed.John Leslie (Jackie) Coogan (October 26, 1914 - March 1, 1984) was an American actor who began his movie career as a child actor in silent film.HollywoodAs a child star, Coogan earned as much as $4 million, but the money was taken by his mother Lilian and step-father Arthur Bernstein for cocaine and heroin. He sued them in 1935, but only received $126,000. The legal battle did, however, bring attention to child actors and resulted in the state of California enacting the California Child Actor's Bill, sometimes known as the Coogan Bill or the Coogan Act. This is inscribed to David Bacon, the nephew of Max Bacon. Before becoming a character actor, Max Bacon was one of the most significant drummers in Britain during the 1920s and 30s. He wrote Max on "Swing" (1934). David was the proprietor of the Heywood Hill Bookstore in Mayfair, London, which still exists.

Manuscript in ink, folio, written on one side of a leaf, verso blank, conjugate leaf with docket-title on verso; originally folded; blind and wax seals; signed and dated by two witnesses, An important and rare original document offering a significant insight into the early life of Fletcher Christian, who would lead the famous mutiny on the Bounty and with his fellow mutineers would settle on remote Pitcairn Island, where some of their descendants still live today. Fletcher's father, a barrister, had died in 1768 when Fletcher was four years old. His mother, Ann, was profligate with money, and this document bears testimony to the huge loans she took on, leading to debts in excess of £6500 -- at least a hundred times that today -- by 1779, just three years after this document was drawn up. The family home listed on this document, at Moorland Close, Eaglesfield, near Cockermouth in Cumbria, was lost and Ann, together with her three children, fled to the Isle of Man where English creditors had no standing. From the evidence of this document, Ann's creditors included members of her own family. Her cousin John Christian, the lender on this document, later changed his name to John Christian-Curwen by adding his mother's maiden name, perhaps to avoid the ignominy associated with the surname of Christian following news of the Bounty mutiny. At the time of this document, Fletcher Christian was twelve years old, and was attending Cockermouth Free School, where one of his school mates was William Wordsworth. The family debts and consequent impoverished lifestyle doubtless played a crucial part in Fletcher's decision to go to sea, and to his ultimate encounter with the fate which has made his name famous throughout history. . Clean tears to all folds but otherwise in good condition.
