Vintage original 8x10 in. US single-weight glossy photograph from the classic silent film drama/romance, THE SON OF THE SHEIK, released in 1926 by United Artists and directed by George Fitzmaurice. Rudolph Valentino stars in his final film appearance due to his untimely death at the age of 31. The son of the Sheik and a beautiful dancing girl fall in love but when he is made to believe that she has betrayed him, he seeks his revenge.

The image features an exterior nighttime close shot of handsome young Sheik Ahmed (Rudolph Valentino) as he gazes at the beautiful dancing girl, Yasmin (Vilma Banky), while the couple meet near the ruins of an old stone building in the desert. The strong side-lighting creates beautiful highlights around their heads. This vintage original photograph is in fine-condition with light signs of wear on the corners; a 2.25 in., a 1 in. and a 0.5 in. diagonal crease on the bottom left corner (the larger of which goes into the background area); a light 2 in. crease that just barely touches the bottom of Miss Banky's chin with several smaller creases in the left background area; and some smudges and a scratch in the left border. There are no pinholes, tears, stains, or other flaws.
