Vintage original 8x10 in. US single-weight glossy photograph from the classic silent film drama/romance, THE SON OF THE SHEIK, released in 1926 by United Artists and directed by George Fitzmaurice. Rudolph Valentino stars in his final film appearance due to his untimely death at the age of 31. The son of the Sheik and a beautiful dancing girl fall in love but when he is made to believe that she has betrayed him, he seeks his revenge.

The image features a dramatic interior shot of young Sheik Ahmed (Rudolph Valentino) single-handedly fighting with a mob of angry men wielding large daggers as he holds a vase above his head to hit whomever gets closest to him. Printed on single-weight stock with a glossy finish for a 1954 US theatrical rel-release, this vintage original photograph is in very fine condition with light signs of wear on the tips of the corners. There are no pinholes, tears, stains, or other flaws and the image quality is very sharp with fine detail and nice  contrast.
