1947 AP Wire Photo dated October 22 in Washington, showing screen actor Robert Taylor testifying before the House Un-American Activities Committee during its investigation of communist activities in Hollywood. This close portrait captures Taylor speaking into two microphones, wearing a pinstriped suit and tie against a dark background. His face, swept-back hair and the microphones are clearly detailed. Measures 7¼ x 9 inches overall. The photo and separate caption are mounted on the same piece of black archival paper. A piece of yellowed tape is stuck directly over Taylor's nose and upper cheek, leaving a visible mark across his face. Yellowed tape also remains at the corners and caption ends. Minor surface marks and edge wear are visible. From the archive of a Pittsburgh area newspaper.
