Vintage original 6.75 x 8.75 in. US double-weight matte photograph of silent film actor and comedian CHARLES ARLING c.1915.
 
Taken during his association with the Triangle Film Company's "Keystone Comedies" brand (headed by Mack Sennett), he is depicted in an interior publicity shot that was taken by the acclaimed Hollywood photographer, Fred Hartsook, as he holds an ominous axe with a skull-and-crossbones on his shirt. This example was unused and is in very fine- condition as shown (and is likely slightly trimmed) with a Triangle Studios stamp on the top of the verso.
