Rare original vintage press photograph from 1931 featuring Charlie Chaplin in his immortal role as The Tramp from the masterpiece City Lights. The image captures a classic street gag moment, with Chaplin interacting with a newspaper boy in front of a tobacconist shop — a quintessential example of his visual comedy and social observation. This is an authentic editorial press print, distributed during the original theatrical run of City Lights. The reverse retains the original typed press caption, identifying the film, scene context, and distribution by United Artists, along with period newsroom markings.
