| A succession of profiles, however lovely, do not show Vilma's face Immediate right: A beautiful profile shot, late 1925 to early 1926 Middle right: Also produced as an English postcard Far right: Most likey late 1925; perhaps taken during The Winning of Barbara Worth ------------------------------ Below left: Another early portrait of Vilma; one that was mass produced as well, I've seen signed copies of this photograph. Below second: Vilma and her fur - a recurring theme, late 1925 to early 1926; perhaps later Below middle: The heavy bangs are quintessential early Vilma, and spanned until late 1926, which makes dating difficult sometimes. Below fourth: An exquisitie portrait by Edwin Bower Hesser Below far right: Another fan photo, generally and widely available even now to collectors [From my collection] |
| Portraits from The Eagle A beautiful set of Vilma in her costume from The Eagle, her second film in America. The costume is quite interesting and makes for a wonderful photographic subject. The costume keeps surprisingly in tune with traditional Russian aristocratic garb. Picture to the immediate left is from my collection, as well as below far left. |
