Description

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (Metro, 1921). Fine on Paper. Half Sheet (22" X 28").
One of the most successful films of the time, The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse outdrew Charlie Chaplin's masterpiece The Kid at the box office in its year of release, and ranks sixth among all films of the silent era. Further, the film had a lasting impact on American culture, introducing both the tango to domestic dancehalls and the trend of gaucho pants, seldom worn with as much panache as by Rudolph Valentino in the scene from the film here depicted. Paperbacked, the borders have been airbrushed to address tears and small chips with minor spot touchup in the image and some sunning. There is light spot toning in the blank borders. Overall, the piece presents well. Property from a Distinguished Collection.
