Patsy Ruth Miller [1904–1995] [USA] - a 12.5cm x 17.5cm Hollywood Fan Photograph.
Patsy was discovered by Alla Nazimova, who was Rudolph Valentino's muse, and she put her in a small role in her film 'Camille' in 1921. In 1923 she garnered a major role in Lon Chaney's 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame' - she withdrew from Hollywood in 1931.
When these are described as 'signed', it is on the negative, these signatures are facimilies done on the film plate and not on the photo after it is printed by the artist themselves.
This item is an original period [1930's] photograph not a reproduction or modern reprint.
These smaller format photos were sent to Movie Fans worldwide in response to fan letters or photo requests. Some Artists, but not all, had these small photos stamped with "Kindly Acknowledge Receipt of Photo. Upon Receipt of 25c to cover Expense, I will send you a Large 8x10 Portrait' - which is interesting.
Most of these Fan photos were actually small versions of the artist 8x10 Studio Photo portraits.
