A very rare and likely exclusive oversize studio print of Ray Bolger as the Scarecrow. That the image lacks a production code/still number indicates its use for an exclusive magazine or newspaper article. Oversize images for The Wizard of Oz are rarely found. Bolger’s favorite role of his career, he fought hard to win the part and never tired of relaying the story’s ongoing philosophy to the public. Minor bend at top right corner, minor smudging.
