Vintage 8x10 in. US single-weight glossy copy photograph(not a vintage original photo printed at the time it was taken) from the 1920's silent film drama/romance,
THE YOUNG RAJAH
, released in 1922 by Paramount Pictures and
directed by Phil Rosen
. Rudolph Valentino stars as a young man raised in the American South who discovers he is really an Indian prince whose throne was taken by usurpers.
The image features a beautiful interior full-length shot of handsome Yale University student Amos Judd (
Rudolph Valentino
) wearing a Middle Eastern outfit with a feathered turban as he stands with his arms crossed. The quality of the lighting creates an almost ethereal image of Valentino which is emphasized by the strong side-lighting on the left side of his face. A facsimile of his signature appears near the lower right corner.
Printed most likely in the 1950's, it is in near-fine condition with creases on the top right corner; a smudge of blue ink in the center of the top border that goes into the
background
area; and small creases on the bottom corners. The image quality is sharp with nice
detail
and great contrast.
