A Lon Chaney personality poster
Color-tinted personality poster, 1926, with "Lon Chaney in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures" printed below portrait, framed. Lon Chaney was at the height of his career with such films as The Road to Mandalay and The Blackbird (both 1926) under his belt when this striking poster of Chaney wearing a popular "newsboy cap" from the 1920s was released. As one of MGM's most successful box office stars, Chaney was best known for his creative use of makeup to immerse himself in his characters and make himself unrecognizable. He would go on to make movies for four more years before his untimely death in 1930.
