The Silent Accuser

N.p. N.p., Circa 1924. Two vintage reference photographs from the 1924 silent film, both showing canine actor Peter the Great. One with a mimeo snipe affixed to the verso, the other with a distributor's notice regarding exploitation.

A German Shepherd dog is the sole witness to a murder, and helps his master escape when he is wrongfully accused of being the killer.

Peter the Great was a German-born German Shepherd who appeared in six Hollywood films between 1922 and 1926. His career was cut short due to a violent altercation between his co-owners, his trainer, and another dog trainer in 1926, leading to a shootout and, ultimately, to Peter's death.

10 x 8 inches. Very Good, toned, with a few chips and wear at the corners, and one with dampstains to the margins.
