Trailblazing film pioneer who directed a number of highly influential classics, including Intolerance (1916) and the iconic (and still-controversial) Birth of a Nation (1915). Nifty vintage fountain pen signature and straight-to-the-point sentiment, “Instead of collecting autographs work to make your view interesting to other people. D. W. Griffith,” on an off-white 4 x 2.5 slip. Our advice: Don’t listen to Griffith! In fine condition, with mild toning and a few very subtle discolorations. COA PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
