(Barrymore, John) Spurr, Melbourne (photographer)

Portrait photograph of John Barrymore, inscribed by Barrymore to Douglas Fairbanks, Jr

Bust portrait, in profile, embossed blind stamp of “Spurr / Hollywood” lower right. 13-3/4 x 8-3/4 inches, Hollywood: Spurr, [ca. 1926]. Backed. Miinor wear, and a few light creases.

Superb, large portrait of the great John Barrymore (1882-1942) by the well-known Hollywood photographer of the the silent era, Melbourne Spurr, inscribed lower right to Douglas Fairbanks, Jr, (whose signature is on the verso), “For 'Doug' Jr with sincerest good wishes from his friend and contemporary John Barrymore 1926.” A superb association between two Hollywood legends. Fairbanks’ (1909 - 2000) idol, in fact, was none other than John Barrymore
