Vintage original 8x10 in. US double-weight matte photograph from the classic 1930's adventure drama/romance, DAVID COPPERFIELD, released in 1935 by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) and directed by George Cukor. Based upon the famous novel by Charles Dickens, a gentle orphan discovers life and love in an indifferent adult world. The all-stars cast includes Freddie Bartholomew, Frank Lawton, Edna May Oliver, Elizabeth Allan, Jessie Ralph, Harry Beresford, Hugh Walpole, Basil Rathbone, W.C. Fields, Elsa Lanchester, and Lionel Barrymore.

The image features an interior shot of young David Copperfield (Freddie Bartholomew) being comforted in the arms of his mother (Elizabeth Allan) while his loving nurse Peggotty (Jessie Ralph) helps to cradle him. This photograph was in the personal collection of the film's director, George Cukor, and he subsequently gifted it to a gay couple, who were friends and fans of his, on May 24, 1981. Of interest is that handwritten on the top of the verso is "George Cukor's Set." It is in very fine condition without any pinholes, tears, stains, creases, writing, or other flaws.
