Vintage original 8 x 10 in. US single-weight glossy photograph from the 1920's silent film comedy, LOVE AND LEARN, released in 1928 by Paramount Pictures and directed by Frank Tuttle. Determined to prevent her parents' divorce, Nancy Blair purposely causes trouble for herself, knowing that this ruse will reunite, at least temporarily, her warring mother and father. When they discover the trick, they decide to stay together anyhow. The image features an interior shot inside of a courtroom as Nancy Blair (Esther Ralston), dressed to the nines, sits on the witness stand with her hands folded in her lap. It is in very fine- condition.
