THE IRON MASK

Three Sheet (41" x 79"); Stone Litho
Very Fine- on Linen
United Artists, 1929

This is an exquisite stone lithograph, a full-length portrayal of the star, and one of the few known copies in existence.

The poster has been mounted on linen, with the borders painted. There are some chips along the borders and some chipping in the smaller lower panel within the vertical folds. One of the few flaws in the upper panel is a chip from Fairbanks' collar.

Douglas Fairbanks, the silent film era's iconic swashbuckler, reprised his role as D'Artagnan in the action-packed sequel to his early movie, "The Three Musketeers" (1921). His passion for heroic roles was ignited with "The Mark of Zorro" (1920), propelling him to dedicate himself to the action genre and create some of the most acclaimed films of that era. The sequel marked Fairbanks' final silent film appearance, and in a significant departure, his character D'Artagnan meets his demise at the film's conclusion, a unique event in Fairbanks' cinematic legacy.
