Description

Stunning oversized portrait of the silent sex symbol

Debonair vintage matte-finish 8.5 x 12 photo of the dashing actor, neatly signed and inscribed in fountain pen using his given Italian name, "A Adolfo Rosquella…Rodolfo Valentino.” Affixed to a 10.25 x 13.25 mount. In very good to fine condition, with a few small surface gouges and light stains. Rosquella was a Latin music band leader during the 1920s and 30s. Valentino is rare in photos signed in his given name, "Rodolfo," and even rarer in oversized photos of this quality.
