Subject:  William Haines

Size:  8x10

Description:  Exceptionally rare twenties portrait inscribed and signed (Billy Haines) by the MGM actor (1900-1973), one of the most popular leading men of the silent era.  Films include Brown of Harvard (1926), Tell It to the Marines (1926), West Point (1927), and Show People (1928).  Haines went on to a highly successful career as an interior designer after his film career waned in the early thirties.  A scarce genuine item, as most of his photos have rubber-stamped or facsimile signatures.  (Vintage original photograph; true vintage autograph)

Condition:  Fine with a few minor emulsion cracks, insignificant handling wear, slight emulsion unevenness on the upper border, very slight rippling on the upper edge area, and trivial corner and border creases
