Peter Benchley Signed Original Jaws Sketch
Signed art

Peter Benchley (1940-2006). Autographed slip of paper by Jaws writer Peter Benchley with an original sketch of a shark. Measures 5" x 3", no place, no date. Dealer's pencil notation on verso, otherwise in excellent condition.

In 1974 Peter Benchley's novel Jaws was published, inspired by tales of an enormous great white shark caught off the coast of Long Island in the 1960s weighing in excess of 4,500 pounds. The story of the man-eating shark caught the imagination of director Steven Spielberg, and the rest is cinematic history. Later in life Benchley became an advocate for marine conservation and the protection of sharks as the magnificent animals that inspired his thrilling tales.

This item comes with a Certificate from John Reznikoff, a premier authenticator for both major 3rd party authentication services, PSA and JSA (James Spence Authentications), as well as numerous auction houses.
