Collection of 36 gelatin silver and platinum prints of these stars of the silent cinema. Constance was a sensation in D. W. Griffith's INTOLERANCE (1916). Norma later established a production company with her husband Joseph Schenck. This fabulous archive includes a 10" x 10" round platinum print by Nicholas Muray. Highlights include 15 terrific matte silver prints by Abbé, signed by the photographer in red crayon. 5 of these are 9 1/2" x 7 1/2", 10 are 13" x 10". There are 4 excellent platinum prints by Evans of Los Angeles, 9 1/8" x 7 1/2" images on 12 1/2" x 13" sheets. All the above are excellent. There are other prints by Edwin Bower Hersey, Melbourne Spurr, L.A. (with some edge and corner damage) and some private photographs of Constance's wedding in San Mateo, California.
