Photos of Valentino with Natacha

These are five photos of Valentino with Natacha. It is rare to see photos of her smiling, many people think it was a reflection of her personality, which I might have been; but, which was indicative of the time. The first photo is a fantastic photo of Valentino, Natacha, and Alberto. Valentino is sporting his European goatee, I think it is just a fantastic photo.

This photo depicts the sultry Nita Naldi along with the couple. I love Natacha’s facial expression in this photo. To me her face it saying: she not only looks much better than I do; but, she looks better with him than I do!

This is a photo of the couple from the Mineralava tour where they performed the tango from Valentino’s film, The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

This photo was taken as Natacha was leaving him. It is said they put on a show for the camera; but, Valentino was devastated.

The photo from Natacha's book Recollections.

Rare Alberto Valentino Autographed Photo

This is a rare find. It is a Henry Waxman photograph of Rudolph Valentino signed by his brother, Alberto Valentino. The photo reads:

To Mrs. Pearl M. Smith, In memoriam of my beloved Rudy, devotedly, Alberto Guglielmi Valentino, Sept. 1927

It is not common to find Alberto's signature on one of Rudy's photos. This makes this piece more unique and more valuable. The value would not bring as much as Rudy's signature but, would still bring a generous amount. As I have previously noted, it is amazing the similarities between the handwriting of these brothers, especially the way in which they both sign Valentino.

Letters from Alberto Valentino and Natacha Rambova

These are two great letters from Valentino's family members. The first one is from Valentino's brother, Alberto. This letter is a thank you letter to Earl Carlisle for arranging for a plane to fly overhead at the funeral service while dropping rose petals, which is still done today. Albert signed the letter Alberto Guglielmi Valentino. The way he signs Valentino is amazing identical to Rudy's signature.
This is an unknown letter signed by Natacha. I am unsure how she normally signed her name; however, I am very surprised she signed it Natacha Valentino. The first time I heard these names together was when I say the photo of this letter.
