Beautiful original 1920s glamour portrait photograph by noted Los Angeles photographer C. Heighton Monroe, whose studio produced portraits of numerous silent-film actors, actresses, and Hollywood personalities during the early 1920s. Monroe\'s work appeared in publications such as Studio Light, Photoplay, and Picture-Play and included portraits of performers such as Betty Blythe, Grace Darmond, Mary Miles Minter, Pauline Starke, Antonio Moreno, and many others.
This elegant studio portrait features a stylish young woman wearing an elaborate beaded evening gown, layered pearl necklaces, a dramatic feathered headdress, and holding an ostrich feather fan—an iconic Jazz Age look. While the sitter has the appearance of a silent-film actress, she is not identified, and no attribution to a specific individual can be made.
The photographer\'s signature, \"C. Heighton Monroe – L.A.\", appears in the lower left corner. The reverse is blank.
A wonderful original piece for collectors of Hollywood memorabilia, silent film, Art Deco fashion, vintage photography, Los Angeles history, or early celebrity portraiture.
C. Heighton Monroe (Charles Heighton Monroe) was an active Los Angeles portrait photographer during the silent film era. He photographed many actors, actresses, and theatrical personalities, and his work appeared in fan magazines and publicity stills during the 1910s and 1920s. Because of that, an unattributed Monroe portrait always raises the possibility that the sitter was an entertainer.
