Description

This framed photo is signed "To Ellen love from Mayo & Bogie & friend." Humphrey Bogart is seated on a couch beside his third wife, Mayo Mathot. They were married from 1938 to 1945. Mayo is hugging a large black dog who is seated on the floor between the two. Humphrey Bogart and Louis Bromfield were close friends, and Mayo Mathot viewed Bromfield as a good friend as well. Bromfield spent time on Bogart's boat, "Sluggy" (which was also his wife's nickname), and the couple visited Malabar.
