I bought this framed photo for the frame, not the picture of Constance Bennett, although it is a nice one of her. It is one of those fan photos on slick thin paper that came with a new picture frame. I love the pattern on the frame, a nice example of early 1930s artwork. It is also 11x14 inches, not that common for the time. Now I need to find the 11x14 inch photo of Bob from that period that would fit the frame!
Meanwhile, making this a really, really good find, when I took off the back to begin cleaning it, I found this fan photo of young Mr. Montgomery!
It appears to simply have been added as a filler. It's an 8x10 fan photo, that has been kicked out of its original frame and replaced by, who knows, a family member...or another photo of Ms. Bennett. Whatever, at least it wasn't thrown out in the trash...shudder the thought.
