"While I cannot attest to its authenticity, having the same last name as you, I am naturally drawn to it!  I just wish that Sir Alfred spelled the name correctly. It is a very nice, clean drawing and signature with what appears to be solid…"

Is this Authentic? - Alfred Hitchcock Large Hand-Drawn self-portrait sketch & autograph - 11" x 14"

Hi All and thank you in advance for your help with this, I know that this is an authentic autograph, as the history behind it, who my grandfather was and the fact that it has remained sealed since it's framing in 1960 is enough for me. However, to be able to sell this to an avid collector, I am in need of authentication by means of this forum. Here is the Background: My grandfather was Charles Payne Sutcliffe, Commissioner of the Royal Hong Kong Police (1969-1974).

Hi there,
I have just acquired some of my grandfather's possessions and among the many amazing things is a large 11" x 14" hand drawn caricature & autograph from Alfred Hitchcock circa 1960 (from his publicity tour for "PSYCHO").
ALFRED HITCHCOCK, "The Master of Suspense". As you know the "Holy Grail" for any collector is any piece signed by Hitchcock on which he added his famed caricature. Such an authentic relic is rare, but here is one!
Background: My grandfather was Charles Payne Sutcliffe, Commissioner of the Royal Hong Kong Police (1969-1974). Before he was appointed commissioner he served as Assistant Commissioner (1960-1969). In April 1960, during his first year as Assistant Commissioner, Alfred Hitchcock and his wife embarked on a publicity tour of Europe and Asia for Psycho.
My grandfather was in charge of security during his visit to Hong Kong and as a gesture of thanks, Mr. Hitchcock signed this large autograph. It was immediately framed and sealed in a frame from Man Fong Picture Frames Maker (41 Wellington St. H.K) and has remained sealed in this frame ever since. http://www.police.gov.hk/offbeat/809/eng/n16.htm (my grandfather's background)
It is in pristine condition as a result of remaining sealed and untouched all these years.
Size: 11" x 14"
Condition: excellent
Material: appears to be on cardstock
Year: 1960
Value: $1300-1500 @ auction
