Titled "A STUDY IN EXPRESSION" on the snipe on the back, this is an 8" X 10"gelatin silver, double weight, glossy finish photo of Lon Chaney as he was photographed by famed Hollywood portrait photographer George Hurrell for THE UNHOLY THREE (MGM, 1930).
There is an embossed photographer stamp reading "Hurrell" on the front, a typed publicity snipe and photographer/studio stamped on the verso. The condition of this print was offered as in Very Fine- condition when it went up for bid by Heritage Auctions.
On November 30, 2012 the photo sold for $336.60.
That's a great shot!
