VALENTINO RUDOLPH: (1895-1926) Italian actor, a sex symbol of the 1920s. An excellent, large vintage signed and inscribed sepia 13.5 x 16.5 photograph, the image depicting the Latin Lover in a head and shoulders pose, with one hand gently raised to his chin, in costume as Monsieur Beaucaire from the American silent romantic historical drama film Monsieur Beaucaire (1924). Signed in dark fountain pen ink to a clear area at the base of the image, 'To Audrey, para que no me olvides, Rudolph' (Translation: 'To Audrey, so you do not forget me, Rudolph'). A wonderful, rare, signed photograph with an affectionate inscription. A few minor creases and light age wear to the borders, otherwise VG
Provenance: Valentino inscribed the present photograph for Audrey Evelyn James Coats (later Pleydell-Bouverie) (1902-1968) English socialite who was photographed by Cecil Beaton for The Book of Beauty. Through her mother she was the illegitimate granddaughter of King Edward VII and herself was the illegitimate daughter of Sir Edward Grey, 1st Viscount Grey of Fallodon.
