DANIEL L. HAYNES | HALLELUJAH [1929] Oversized portrait by Ruth Harriett Louise

[Los Angeles]: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, [1929]. Vintage original 12 1/4 x 9 3/8″ (31 x 24 cm) double weight black-and-white photo. Trimmed for publication, with printing notations in red pencil, blind stamp on front and ink stamp on verso of photographer Ruth Harriet Louise, and mimeographed descriptive text. Very good-.

An exceedingly scarce oversized portrait of Daniel L. Haynes in King Vidor’s groundbreaking film. Hallelujah was one of the first two Black cast films made by a major studio, as well as one of the first two such films made as talkies.
