N.p.: N.p., 1920. Two vintage matte double weight portrait photographs of silent film actresses Alma Rubens and Anita Stewart, respectively, circa 1920s. Insignia of photographer Albert Witzel from the negative at the bottom corners. One with the stamp of King Features Syndicate to the verso.

Witzel Studios was founded in 1909 and rapidly rose to success as one of Hollywood's foremost portrait studios and society photographers. Witzel occasionally took on freelance assignments for Fox Studios, work which gradually became less frequent as studios established their own portrait and stills departments. All but one of Witzel's portrait studios were closed following the photographer's death in 1929.

Both photos 7.5 x 9.5 inches. Near Fine.
