Description

John Wayne publicity shot for his first starring role in "The Big Trail"

Exceptional vintage circa 1930 matte-finish 8 x 10 photo of John Wayne in profile by Autrey, signed and inscribed in fountain pen, "To J. H. Huber, Here's Hoping, John Wayne, 'The Big Trail'.” In very fine condition. After several years as a prop man and bit player, Wayne found his first starring role as Breck Coleman in the 1930 film The Big Trail, a now-classic Western directed by Raoul Walsh. A marvelous, very early portrait of the Hollywood icon.
