A Camera Original Photographic Negative (measures 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm]) (Learn More) The Unknown, the classic 1927 Tod Browning silent bizarre circus romantic revenge melodrama (Tod Browning is best remembered for "Freaks", but this movie is equally outrageous, and maybe even more bizarre!; Chaney is a knife thrower in a circus, who advertises himself as the "Armless Wonder", because he throws his knives with his feet, but he actually does have arms, he just cleverly keeps them hidden under his costume!; his assistant, who he throws knives at, is beautiful Joan Crawford, and she can't bear to be touched by any man, which makes her comfortable around Chaney; Chaney kills the circus manager, and he is witnessed stabbing the man by Crawford, but she only saw his hand, so to cover up the crime, Chaney gets a doctor to actually amputate his arms, which will prove that he could not have stabbed the man, plus he thinks it will mean Crawford will finally make love to him, but he finds that she has fallen for the circus strong man, and Chaney tries to kill the strong man, but being armless, he ends up dead himself!) starring Lon Chaney Sr., Joan Crawford, Norman Kerry, Nick De Ruiz, and John George NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this is a negative that was in the camera when the photographer shot the photo (see below for more on this). We have put a scan of the negative that shows the "positive image" (in addition to a scan of the negative image). REMEMBER THAT WHAT YOU RECEIVE WILL BE A PHOTOGRAPHIC NEGATIVE, NOT A POSITIVE IMAGE LIKE YOU ARE SEEING. However, we will provide the winning bidder of this auction that positive image scan that is both high quality and not watermarked (on request to the winning bidder, and only the winning bidder). We scanned it, so that bidders could see just how high quality it is. What are camera original negatives? These often (but not always) have retouching on the emulsion side, and negative numbers written in India ink on the front. Depending on the studio some 8x10 negatives may be trimmed or have numbers or information embedded into the sides of the negative. Obviously, camera original negatives are far more rare (and far more desirable) than studio-issued ones, but both are very high quality. Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
