Rhett Butler’s Gallantry — A Romantic Moment from Gone With the Wind

An evocative Type 1 original photograph from the legendary 1939 film Gone with the Wind, capturing one of the story’s most tender moments: Clark Gable as Rhett Butler gallantly kissing the hand of Vivien Leigh as Scarlett O’Hara. Romantic images pairing the two stars are among the most desirable stills from the production, and this one beautifully captures the chemistry that made the film immortal.

The photograph measures 7.25" x 9.25" inches and presents a wonderfully sharp, crystal-clear photographic image. It originates from the famed Lester Glassner photo collection, adding appealing provenance from one of the hobby’s best-known archives of classic Hollywood photography.

Condition is excellent overall. The photo has only minor edge wear that does not detract from the display of this striking image.

Images of Rhett Butler and Scarlett O’Hara together—especially in a romantic or amorous pose—are among the most sought after by classic film collectors. Their pairing remains one of the most iconic in movie history, and photographs capturing that dynamic are endlessly appealing. Simply put, not many images in cinematic history can top Rhett Butler and Scarlett O’Hara—and this image adds the unmistakable romantic touch collectors love.

Few films in cinematic history rival the stature of Gone with the Wind. At the 12th Academy Awards the film received 13 Academy Award nominations, ultimately winning 9 competitive Oscars, along with 2 honorary awards. Vivien Leigh won the Academy Award for Best Actress, while Clark Gable was nominated for Best Actor but was edged out by Robert Donat for his role in Goodbye, Mr. Chips.

For admirers of classic Hollywood and historic cinema, this is a must-have piece. Original photographs from this genre remain remarkably reasonable in price today, yet their importance and desirability suggest they will appreciate significantly in the years ahead. More importantly, they are special, tangible pieces of film history.
