An excellent publicity portrait of Ellington in his prime, inscribed and signed: "To the most charming Carine, loads o luck, Duke." The "Maurice" studio in Chicago was Ellington's preferred provider of publicity photos and they produced many over the years. This one shows a young and confident-looking Ellington looking directly at the camera.
