From a family estate of a gentleman's collection of gay and male related photographs and ephemera. Most items are from the early to mid-20th century and includes loose photographs as well as some pictures that were cut by the owner from an antique photo album.
4"x6" reprint of a studio publicity photo of a young Rudolph Valentino. In this photo, he's shirtless and wearing athletic shorts and boxing boots. He's working with weights outdoors and has a dumbbell in his left hand.
I noticed in this pose, he is also wearing the long-pointed sideburns that he had in the "Sheik" movies he starred in, early in his career.
Check on this link to see the entire Gay Man's Estate Collection of photos.
Note that because of the enlargement from my scanner, the image shown here is slightly more blurry that the print you will receive.
