A 1927 hardcover printing of “Masters and Masterpieces of the Screen”, compiled by C. W. Taylor and published in New York by P. F. Collier and Son Company with an introduction by Will H. Hays, contemporaneous President of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America.
This sweeping pictorial survey traces the early development of the motion pictures to the Golden Age of the silver screen through several articles, but appropriately, mostly through visual means of endless sepia portraits of actors and actresses, photographs of scenes from early film, and illustrations.
This is a fascinating book for film devotees and nonspecialists alike.
