One of the most important actresses of all time, the offered studio photograph features "The Vamp" Theda Bara in her most famous role as "Cleopatra". This film was originally released in 1917 and the offered photo was issued sometime around 1950 (dated on back from 1954) making it still an ultra rare example from Bara's lifetime. Condition and quality are both pretty nice with creasing on the far left.
