EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the dashing and stylish presence of American film icon, Douglas Fairbanks, in his iconic role as The Black Pirate in the 1926 silent film of the same name. The image, taken during the production of this classic swashbuckling adventure, showcases Fairbanks' charisma and charm as he dons the black pirate costume, complete with a curved sword at his side and a distinctive moustache gracing his upper lip. Fairbanks, born in 1883, was a leading star of the 1920s Hollywood film industry, known for his handsome features, athletic prowess, and impeccable sense of style. In The Black Pirate, he brought to life the daring and adventurous character of Captain Edward Teach, also known as Blackbeard the Pirate. The film, which was shot on the water and at sea, showcased Fairbanks' impressive physical abilities and daring stunts, making it a must-see spectacle for audiences of the time. This photograph is a testament to Fairbanks' enduring appeal and his ability to captivate audiences with his on-screen charisma. The image, from the Mary Evans / Grenville Collins Postcard Collection, is a rare and fascinating glimpse into the making of a Hollywood classic and the legacy of one of America's most beloved film stars.
