Hi Carolyn,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

Nick Stewart (1910–2000) was an African-American actor and comedian. He appeared in films, television, and stage productions over many decades, often in character or supporting roles. He is credited as the original voice of Br’er Bear in Disney’s 1946 film Song of the South. Br’er Bear is one of the trickster characters adapted from the Uncle Remus stories by Joel Chandler Harris. Stewart’s vocal performance gave Br’er Bear his comic, lumbering personality, often paired with Br’er Rabbit’s cleverness.

There are a number of similar signed stills currently on the market; when they come up, they usually sell for between $40 and $60.
