Item Number: S-BLACKOXEN-02

Vintage original 8 x 10 in. (20.3 x 25.4 cm.) U.S. single-weight gelatin silver glossy still photograph (NN: 8-17), near-fine condition.
The image depicts an on-set publicity shot of the film's star, the beautiful Corinne Griffith, talking with the film's director, Frank Lloyd. One of the most notable props from this film is the oil painting of Miss Griffith in character as Madame Zatianny/Mary Ogden hanging above the large console table behind them. The caption in the lower left corner of the image reads "FRANK LLOYD and CORINNE GRIFFITH in "BLACK OXEN" and the caption in the bottom outer white border reads "Distributed by First National Pictures." This vintage original on-set publicity still photograph is in near-fine condition with a chip on the bottom outer white border. A 2 in. long x 1 in. wide piece of what appears to be white paper is affixed to the verso on the right side of the still just below the center. There is no damage to this area, so it is not a repair, nor does it appear to be the remnants of an original paper snipe.
Black Oxen is was released in December 1923 starring Corinne Griffith, Conway Tearle and Clara Bow. It has been described as "subtle science fiction" and takes its title from William Butler Yeats: "The years like great Black Oxen tread the world." It was produced by Frank Lloyd Productions and distributed by First National Pictures. A special-edition of Atherton's novel was released featuring stills from the film. The George Eastman House retains a complete print of the film. However, only an incomplete version of the film is available through a DVD distributor. The New York Public Library allegedly has a 16mm print available. It is one of about ten films starring Corinne Griffith, out of 58, that are currently available for viewing.
