Absolutely beautiful 1916 (dated on the back from early 1917) photograph of early Hollywood "Vamp" Valeska Suratt. While largely forgotten today, she was just as famous for her dark and sexy roles as Theda Bara was when this photo was taken and this is one of her greatest, if not THE greatest image ever taken and showing her with a spider web themed hat showing off her dark side like no other photograph we have ever seen. Stamped on the back by the Central Press and in great shape!
