Description

Orphans of the Storm (United Artists, 1921). Half Sheet (22" X 28").
We are very proud to offer this beautiful half sheet on D. NW. Griffith's triumph, Orphans of the Storm. The haunting performances of real-life sisters, Lillian and Dorothy Gish, are a testament to just what can be accomplished by gifted actresses without saying a single word. In this lovely half sheet with an original high gloss finish, Lillian sews contentedly on the left as Dorothy, in a rare, almost completely serious role, daydreams of having her sight restored. It's one of the best moments in the film and sets the tone for what's to come. There are corner pinholes, mild border stains, small clear tape on the verso of the right center border to repair small tears, a small chip in the top right, a comer bend in the bottom right, and some light creasing in the title. Rolled, Fine/Very Fine.
