Extremely rare-- the third example we have seen in 40 years!-- 3.25 x 5.25-inch portrait as Kat in 1930's All Quiet on the Western Front, his most celebrated role, made by a collector by affixing a magazine image to a postal stationery card, boldly signed along the bottom in black fountain pen in the year of the film. In fine condition for its age, with a minor crinkle to one corner tip. With his nose first smashed up in a football injury and then again in a brawl, Louis Wolheim wasn't winning any beauty contests. He channeled his rough looks into amazing character actor work in films, stealing every scene in silent and early talkie films-- perhaps most memorably in All Quiet on the Western Front in 1930.
