An Original Vintage Theatrical Deluxe 10" x 13" [25 x 33 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Ben Lyon was an actor from 1910s to the 1950s. He is likely best remembered for his starring role in Hell's Angels. Some of his other movies include: The Transgressor, The Heart of Maryland, Lily of the Dust, Wages of Virtue. He was married to Bebe Daniels from 1930 until she passed away in 1971, and went on to marry Marian Nixon. He passed away in 1979 at the age of 78. Important Added Info: Note that this is a deluxe still printed on double weight paper stock and it has an embossed photographer's stamp in one of the bottom corners. Also note that this still measures 10" x 13" [25 x 33 cm], but it has not been trimmed. Note that this is one of 100 deluxe oversized stills (measuring 11" x 14" or similar) which were consigned to us, and they all originated from the legendary James Card Collection! James Card was a film preservationist who, starting in 1948, worked at the newly created George Eastman House in Rochester, New York, and he helped build their massive motion picture collection, preserving movies that had been forgotten at that time. In 1955, he discovered that Louise Brooks was living as a recluse in New York City, and he persuaded her to move to Rochester, where she wrote many letters and some books about her legendary career. Not only do these 100 oversized stills (which we are auctioning individually) have wonderful "provenance", but there is also no fear that they are not from their first release (and many of the stills have photographer stamps on the back or embossed, and some have other information on the back, and several have a stamp that identifies them as being from the "James Card Collection"! Condition: very good. Someone wrote "file copy" in the right of the bottom border. Learn More about condition grades
