Anna May Wong has gone down in history as perhaps the most important early Chinese actress of all time, but in 1925 when this photo was taken, she was still a bit of a novelty and referred to as "The Famous Oriental Flapper." A beautiful image that shows the young star on the beach and from early in her career. One of her best we have ever seen and a rarity showing her in a more candid setting. Issued by Wide World Photos and stamped on the back with a nice paper caption as well.
