Culver City, CA: RKO Radio Pictures, 1941. Two vintage borderless black-and-white double weight keybook photographs from the 1941 film. Both stills linen backed as issued, one still with a mimeo snipe on the verso, the other with the RKO Radio Pictures rubber stamp on the verso.

The first still shows a young Kane (Orson Welles), smoking a pipe and smiing, signing his "declaration" with advisors Jedediah Leland (Joseph Cotten) and Mr. Bernstein (Everett Sloane). The second still shows Kane as an old man, looking on as his young bride (Dorothy Comingore) completes a giant jigsaw puzzle at a table.

Both stills 9.5 x 7.5 inches. Near Fine.
