Johnny Weissmuller signed photo as his iconic character, Tarzan. The five-time Olympic gold medalist swimmer inscribes the photo, ''To Orvill / your [sic] a swell guy / Johnny Weissmuller''. Glossy sepia photo is of a shirtless Weissmuller as Tarzan of the Apes, a role the muscular athlete played in a dozen films based on the classic Edgar Rice Burroughs novel. He poses with the actress playing Jane, Maureen O'Sullivan. Photo measures 10'' x 8''. Creasing and somewhat poor contrast of signature against a dark background, else near fine.
