8x10 in. U.S. single-weight glossy copy photograph (NN: 86-247), very fine+ condition.

 

Based upon the famous novel by Vicente Blasco Ibáñez, director Rex Ingram's THE FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE APOCALYPSE became one of the best and most popular films of 1921 as well as of 1920's. The image on this publicity photograph depicts a close shot of young Julio Desnoyers (Rudolph Valentino) wearing the uniform of a French soldier during World War I as he fights for his adopted country. Valentino, seen here sporting a goatee, has a very pensive look on his face as he contemplates the war, his past spoiled indulgences, and the woman he loves, Marguerite Laurier (portrayed by Alice Terry). This glossy copy photograph is in very fine+ condition without any flaws.

 

THE RUDOLPH VALENTINO COLLECTION is a collection of high-quality 8x10 in. copy photographs that were printed by a professional photo laboratory from a dupe negative of primarily vintage original photographs (as well as some later vintage copy photographs) from our archive of over 1,500 photos relating to silent film legend Rudolph Valentino.
