Digital Reprint

4"x6" Reprint of a publicity still from the silent movie, Wings (1927.) This movie was important to the history of film in that it was the first winner of the Academy Award for Best Picture in 1927. It starred these two men as WWI flying aces, the love interest was Mary Pickford - who was married to Rogers for over 40 years until her death in the 1970s. It was also the first movie featuring Gary Cooper who would go on to reach his own stardom by the 1940s.

Note that because of the enlargement from my scanner, the image shown here is slightly more blurry that the print you will receive.

A portion of the sales from my original prints are donated by eBay on my behalf to The Trevor Project. Their mission is to end suicide among LGBTQ young people. They offer crisis services, counseling, safe spaces and more. If you have the opportunity, search for online and watch the short film Trevor, on which this foundation is based.

*For this type picture, I made digital repairs to the original images and had them professionally reprinted. Each of these photos is labeled at the top of the listing as "Digital Reprint" to indicate that these are not the original prints of these images. They are also priced accordingly.

1 picture(s) included as part of our description. Please examine carefully before purchase. If you have any questions before purchase please contact us here: we are very happy to help in any way we can.

Please note that inclusion in this gentleman's collection does not imply that the people in the photo are gay or bi. Perhaps someone in the photo was a friend, or maybe he just picked up the picture somewhere for his collection.
