Tarzan Triumphs (Original photograph from the 1943 film)

N.p.: N.p., 1943. Vintage reference photograph from the 1943 film, showing actors Johnny Weissmuller and Frances Gifford. From the collection of artist and author Duncan Hannah.

Duncan Hannah was a key figure in the burgeoning New York underground arts scene, befriending Andy Warhol and his superstars, Lou Reed, Allen Ginsberg, Patti Smith, Salvador Dali, and many others. A graduate of the Parsons School of Design, his paintings were exhibited in the influential 1980 Times Square Show alongside work by Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat, and several of his paintings are held in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Weissmuller's sixth appearance as Tarzan. Actress Maureen O'Sullivan, typically paired alongside Weissmuller as Tarzan's mate, Jane, was unable to appear in the film, as the franchise had switched from MGM to RKO, and O'Sullivan was a MGM contract player.

8 x 10 inches. Very Good plus, with moderate glue residue on the verso. (Inventory #: 161996)
