1920 Silver gelatin photograph from the film "Behold My Wife" which was the first we can confirm featured a bi-racial marriage as the plot! Issued when the KKK were murdering people of color, this featured a prominent white member of royalty marrying an Indian Princess! An important piece of history that pre-dates the Civil Rights Movement by forty years! This is one of the only images from this important film that we have ever seen and it is being offered here for the first time ever!
