Ian McDiarmid Hand-Signed 8x10 Hooded Palpatine Photo

This hand-signed 8x10 promotional photograph features Ian McDiarmid as Emperor Palpatine, also known as Darth Sidious, from the Star Wars saga. The close hooded portrait emphasizes the character's distinctive features against a dark background.

McDiarmid's bold silver paint pen autograph spans the lower-middle portion of the image, standing out against the dark robes. The photograph has a white border, with Fujifilm paper markings visible on the reverse.

Small marks and spotting are visible in the upper and lower white border areas. Please review the full portrait, autograph close-up, and reverse image for appearance and condition. No specific film installment, signing date, print date, or third-party authentication is claimed.

A character-focused addition to a Star Wars cast-autograph collection, this portrait pairs McDiarmid's signature with the unmistakable hooded appearance of the Emperor.

Provenance

This item comes from a large autograph collection originally owned by a former autograph business. After the owner's passing, the entire storage unit containing their remaining inventory was purchased by a professional buyer who specializes in full estate and business acquisitions. This autograph is part of that collection, and additional pieces from the same find are available on our site.
