A press photo of film producer Cathrine Curtis, Keystone View Company, Los Angeles, dated 13 June 1922. The image, touched up for publication, shows Curtis, the first woman to produce movies, from the waist up and seated in a chair, with the caption referring to a legal battle involving her claims to have purchased the film rights to Arthur Conan Doyle's novel, "The Lost World," which was issued two years later. With warping, a pin hole, creases, abrasions and soiling, the condition is fair.
