Original publicity photograph of Pauline Frederick, circa 1910s

N.p. N.p., Circa 1910s. Vintage publicity photograph of silent film star Pauline Frederick sporting a striped metallic dress and matching hat, seated next to a basket of flowers and a trophy.

With the insignia of New York-based photography studio Underwood and Underwood from the negative to the bottom left corner.

Frederick began her acting career on the stage, and made her film debut in her 30s, as Donna Roma in "The Eternal City" (1915). Although she was able to make a successful transition to the sound era, her career was cut short due to complications from abdomen surgery in 1936, and two years later, she suffered a fatal asthma attack, leading to her death at the age of 55. She is perhaps best remembered today for her appearance in the 1924 film "Three Women."

8 x 10 inches. Very Good, with faint soil and a small chip to the top edge.
