Douglas Fairbanks Jr Vintage 8×10 Kobal Collection Photograph

Description

Douglas Fairbanks Jr. (1909–2000) successfully stepped out of the enormous shadow cast by his legendary father to become one of Hollywood’s most charismatic leading men. Appearing in films throughout the 1930s, ’40s and beyond, he also served with distinction during World War II, helping pioneer military deception techniques that were later adopted by Allied forces. Off screen he became equally well known for his sophisticated international lifestyle, friendships with world leaders, and enduring place among Hollywood’s golden generation.

The photograph comes from The Kobal Collection, one of the world’s most respected archives of motion picture photography. Founded by British film historian John Kobal, the archive assembled millions of studio stills, publicity photographs, and rare entertainment images documenting the history of cinema. Material bearing Kobal archive labels has become increasingly collectible in its own right, offering both an appealing vintage image and a documented connection to one of film history’s great photographic repositories.

Whether you’re building a collection devoted to classic Hollywood, Douglas Fairbanks Jr., or vintage entertainment photography, this handsome Kobal Collection photograph deserves a place in your archive.
