Written to Nelson Bell, entertainment editor at the Washington Post, in full: "Here is the photograph I promised you of Frank and me [enclosed]. It is not nearly nice enough for you, but it is the only one I have at the moment." Accompanied by an outstanding heavy-stock 10 x 8-inch original silver gelatin photograph by George Hurrell (1904 - 1992) with his stamp on the bacl, in which he used his trademark "soft lighting affect," achieving extraordinary results. Both items have a paperclip impression near the upper left corner; otherwise very good condition. English actress of the stage and cinema who often worked with her husband-actor Frank Lawton.
