Beautiful set of cameos of the American silent film actress of San Francisco, Edna Purviance (1895-1958). Charlie Chaplin famously cast her as his leading lady, first inA Night Outin 1915, after an associate discovered her at a Tate's Cafe in the city. She would go on to appear in 33 of Chaplin's productions. Photographer Willard Worden (1868-1946) was active in San Francisco at the turn of the century, producing beautiful views of city and later documenting the disastrous earthquake of 1906. He is most well known for his images, taken at the peak of his popularity, of the Pan Pacific International Exposition of 1915, which displayed the city's resurgence on the world stage.

A beautiful image, wonderfully hand-painted.Willard Worden grew up in Philadelphia and studied painting at the PAFA. While serving in the Spanish-American War he became interested in photography and when he settled in San Francisco after the war in 1902, he established a photography studio and soon turned his lens upon the mountains of the Sierra Nevada, the streets of San Francisco and scenes in Northern California. He became the official photographer of the PPIE of 1915 and maintained his studio on Stockton Street for over 30 years. His work was exhibited in the Louvre. His hand-painted photographs are what he is chiefly remembered for now. He died in 1946 and was buried with military honors in the Presidio.
