1937 Bold studio photograph of one of the most influential comedians of the era, Harpo Marx from one of his most famous films of all time "A Day at the Races." A racially insensitive photograph that shows the comedian leading black children like the Pied Piper with his flute, this is a completely vintage studio image from the film with credits at the bottom border. This is the only example of this photograph we have ever seen, stamped by a famous film historian on the back as his personal copy along with a handwritten date of when the film showed!
