Description: [North America], 1936. 1936. - A 9-3/8 inch high by 7-3/8 inch wide softly hued original matte finish photograph of John Gielgud as Hamlet. The classic image portrays the actor in profile from the hips up, seated with his left hand holding his great black cloak draped over the arm of the chair. A tall white collar with a brooch above a decoratively buttoned dark tunic completes the character's costume. Gielgud gazes intently to the side, his right hand resting in his lap. Signed "John Gielgud / Hamlet. 1936." at center left of the portrait. There is but the faintest impression from the tip of a paper clip at top left, else a fine powerful signed photograph. The great British actor Sir John Gielgud (1904-2000) dominated the British stage for much of the 20th century as both an actor and director. Considered by many as the finest Hamlet of his era, he also starred and played supporting role in movies.
