An Original Vintage 7 1/4" x 9" [18 x 23 cm] News Photo (Learn More) D.W. Griffith was one of the most famous directors of all time from the 1900s to the 1950s. Some of his movies include: Intolerance: Love's Struggle Throughout the Ages, Way Down East, Orphans of the Storm, Broken Blossoms or The Yellow Man and the Girl, Judith of Bethulia, and The Birth of a Nation (the movie he is best remembered for, but which is extremely controversial today, because of its depiction of post-Civil-War-era black African Americans). He passed away in 1948 at the age of 73. Important Added Info: Note that this still was consigned to us by legendary collector/dealer Marty Davis! Marty was hired in 1972 to evaluate the entire collection of W. Ward Marsh (1893-1971), who was the film critic for the Cleveland Plain Dealer newspaper from 1919, until his retirement in 1970. In 1919 Marsh wrote his first of 23,000 movie reviews for the Plain Dealer. Marsh died less than a year after his retirement in 1970. His library, and photographic and memorabilia archives were given to the proprietor of Cleveland's finest bookstore. Marty Davis was the first person with a background in film history and collectibles to examine the archives. He worked for three to four hours a day, for six months, and his compensation was his pick of the archives. This still is from the W. Ward Marsh archives, and it was stamped on the back by Marty Davis to indicate that it came from this legendary collection. Also note that this news photo measures 7 1/4" x 9" [18 x 23 cm]. Condition: very good to fine. There is a pair of staple holes in the lower left and right borders, and a faint smudge in the left of the top border. Otherwise, the news photo is in nice condition! The snipe that was once attached to the back has come loose, but it will be included with the photo to the winning bidder. Learn More about condition grades
