Extremely rare portrait of Olympic polo player by pioneer filmaker Eugene Pirou

Description

Very acceptable used imperfect condition see image closeups and judge for yourself. This original professional studio portrait  by Eugene Pirou has the name of Comte Jean Padtre  inscribed  in French on the lower corner, possibly by Pirou. The back of the photo has acceptable agewear and Pirous photographer's stamp and the name of Jean Pastre in the lower corner in pen. This very rare portrait of Count Jean Pastre (1888- 1960)  by pioneer filmmaker/ photographer Eugene Pirou (1841-1909)  is a must for the serious photograph collector / polo enthusiast. Google Eugene Pirou to learn more about his amazing career as a filmmaker and photographer. Google Jean Pastre to learn more about his career as a Polo player who played in the 1924 Summer Olympics against America. In my opinion, as an avid collector of rare  photographs, this very rare antique portrait by Eugene Pirou is in good condition for its age but to avoid disputes selling as is in very acceptable used imperfect condition. See images and judge for yourself. Feel free to contact me if there are any questions. Good luck trying to find another one.
