Description

Louise Brooks by George Hommel (Paramount, 1920s). Portrait (11" X 14").
Vintage gelatin silver, double weight, matte finish, cream-toned photo. The enigmatic star Louise Brooks had a string of hit films in the 1920s which allowed her magnetic personality to shine: The American Venus, Beggars of Life, Pandora's Box, etc.. Her career waned in the 1930s, mainly due to her apathy towards Hollywood, and her audiences were left wanting more. All images of her are highly collectible, and this soft-focus beauty is sure to be a prized item. Verso: Paramount/ Hommel credit stamp in black ink, and a Paramount/Brooks credit stamp. Near Mint.
