Description

John Gilbert in Redemption by Ruth Harriet Louise (MGM, 1930). Portrait Photo (10" X 13").
Vintage gelatin silver, double weight, satin photo. MGM's greatest leading man of the silent era, John Gilbert, had a meteoric rise to stardom, and starred in nearly one hundred films. Unfortunately, he did not make a successful transition to talking pictures and his popularity ended abruptly in the early 1930s. Featured here is an intimate portrait of the actor in his Beverly Hills home at the height of his career, just before the release of Redemption. The only signs of use are a top right corner crease and a small top left corner bend. There is an embossed photographer stamp in the bottom right, and a studio/photographer stamp and publicity snipe on the verso. Very Fine.
