Note that this classic novel was written in 1880, and there were numerous stage versions and an early silent version in 1907, but the definitive silent version was made in 1925 by Fred Niblo with Ramon Novarro in the leading role, and then this classic sound version. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have never seen this type of color still (which are printed on a deluxe heavyweight paper stock) before! They are printed on a flat stock, and they were clearly black & white stills that were hand colored before they were printed (perhaps to give them an "older" feel, because back in the 1920s and earlier, they would literally "hand color" each individual still). Each of the stills has printing on the back, which describes the scene on the front. If anyone knows more about these or has seen others like these, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Note that one still measures 10" x 13 1/2" and the other measures 10 1/2" x 13 1/2", and neither appears to be trimmed, but we don't know for sure. Condition: good to very good. It looks like both stills were once in a frame and have border defects that were caused by that (see our images). Learn More about condition grades
