A production-made final-scene photograph from Stanley Kubrick's horror film The Shining. The movie's conclusion showed a wall of old photographs, with one, taken in 1921, revealing a young Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson) at a party in the ballroom.

Multiple variations of the photograph were created by the production for Kubrick to review. The differences between the images included the size, framing, margins and even some of the people photographed. This example is one of the alternative versions which did not appear in the final cut, and is testament to Kubrick's attention to detail.

The black-and-white photograph shows Nicholson's face superimposed onto a figure at the front. The lot exhibits minor edge wear and some staining and damage along the top edge, where it was previously covered with adhesive tape. Dimensions: 24 cm x 30.5 cm (9 1/2" x 12")

Estimate: £6,000 - 12,000 M
