1913131914Neuilly-sur-Seine France: Gaumont 1913. Vintage double weight matte finish photograph from the legendary 1913 silent film serial.

With the Gaumont logo at the lower right corner. <br/><br/>The first of Feuillade's three film serial masterpieces followed by "Les Vampires" 1915 and "Judex" 1916.

Dollon goes on to escape then be captured by Fantomas who murders him cuts off his fingers and throws his body into the river. Fantomas then sews the fingers into a glove and commits further crimes continuing to implicate Dollon who in addition to being innocent is now dead. <br/><br/>11 x 9 inches.
