Ohio-born yet strangely exotic film actress (1885–1955), nicknamed “The Vamp,” who became one of the most iconic sex symbols of the silent era. Vintage matte-finish 8 x 10 photo of Bara decked out in a cape and fancy hat, signed and inscribed in fountain pen and dated 1916. In fine condition, with light bisecting vertical bend, a bit of scattered silvering, and some slight contrast to beginning of signature and portion of inscription. R&R COA.
