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 a "Chinese Film Star." A beautiful image that shows the young star on the from early in her career. One of her best images ever taken, this is from the archives of Underwood and Underwood and stamped on the back with a nice paper caption as well.
