First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Usually listed as published 1926, though as the foreword is dated December, 1926, we doubt it was in stores before January. This volume is bound in red cloth with gilt title "Rudolph Valentino" dropped out of black spine label. As this title is usually encountered in purple cloth with larger gilt spine titles -- and given the nice condition of these endpapers, while the rest of the book is a bit musty with occasional minor spotting -- we suspect this may be a re-bind. Very good with all 16 called-for B&W plates firmly attached (though frontispiece may have been re-glued in place.) Those hoping the offer of an "intimate" portrait means Ms. Rambova will discuss the silent film star's sexual prowess -- or even his inclinations -- are likely to be disappointed. (Dancer and film star Rodolfo Alfonso Guglielmi di Valentina d'Antonguella died Aug. 23, 1926. He and Rambova (nee Winifred Kimball Shaughnessy in Salt Lake City) had divorced in 1925 after a two-year marriage. Valentino's first bride, Jean Acker, was indeed a lesbian who locked him out of her bedroom on their wedding night. Rumors that both Valentino and Rambova were homosexual were denied by those who knew them.) 224 pp. Here reduced from $1,180.

Signed
Striking original oil painting painted by Natacha Rambova, the wife of Rudolph Valentino. Signed in the lower right hand corner, ÒNatacha Rambova - Hollywood 1918.Ó The painting is a very atmospheric and spooky affair in which Rambova depicts a carriage being driven down a gaslit cobblestone street pulled by two demonic looking horses. The passengers in the carriage are a ghoul and skeleton holding the reins and urging the horses on at breakneck speed. In the foreground, a man in a top hat is seen fleeing the path of the hurling vehicle. Painted on canvas, the picture has been expertly relined and cleaned by a noted conservationist. The painting itself measures 23 x 29 1/2 the painting then very handsomely framed to an overall size 28 x 35 inches. Natacha Rambova (1897-1966) was the wife of silent film star Rudolph Valentino during his years of fame. She was a noted dancer, actress, playwright, artist, costume and set designer, art director, Egyptologist scholar and collector of antiquities. The painting is accompanied by a copy of Michael MorrisÕs Madam Valentino - The Many Lives of Natacha Rambova, the definitive biography. RambovaÕs surviving original artwork is rare.
