This is an interesting image, and not just a memento of the actress Grace Cunard [her name written in pen on the bottom margin.] Aside from her work as an actress, Cunard wrote many screenplays and directed 11 movies. But I see this as a fascinating genre scene. 8 3/8 x 6 ½ toned gelatin silver print. Remnants of backing paper on the verso. Right edge slightly rough.

10 x 8- inch toned gelatin silver print. This is a film still by William Mortensen from Cecil B. DeMille’s “massive biblical production.” The scene shows Victor Varconi and Majal Coleman as Pilate and his wife. Has Mortensen’s stamp on the verso. It is interesting as an example of his studio work before the wild pictorialist photographs he is known for. The melodramatic faces of the scene anticipate some aspects of his later work.
