I agree, phenomenal photo of Ty Power. I think it was impossible to take a bad picture of Ty.

p.s.  David Lewis knows Tyrone Power very well.  Maybe he'll weigh in.

I'll be sure and run by you any early signed Ty photos I come across. Ty really aged rapidly after the war. All those stars of his era aged quickly because of their excessive cigarette smoking and boozing. I know Robert Taylor smoked three packs a day. And that was back in the day of filterless cigarettes. The most egregious example of physical deterioration had to be Errol Flynn. By the time he died at age 50, he looked 70.

Yes, all three were known for their looks earlier in their careers.  They all three almost looked like different people altogether by the 1950s.  

As far as youthful Tyrone Power, I'd begin with the premise that a signed photo is NOT authentic and then study it to attempt to prove otherwise.

Here's another from this period (very fun).  Some slight variances...but still no cigar for the OP piece.

I agree with everything Etienne has said. An outstanding duel signed photo. Etienne, I hope that is in your collection.
