Movie memorabilia? - from Cecil B. Demille's Paramount Picture, 'Union Pacific'

From: "Brenda Williams" b.aberly@icloud.com

I inherited the below picture that is mounted on a thick cardboard. It is a Cecil B. Demille's Union Pacific picture of Driving the Golden Spike, but not one that would have been to advertise at movie theaters. I don't think. I would like to know more about it. ... it measures about 18" high x 23" wide. ... I've been very interested in your site. Good job! Very interesting. Thank you. I'm going to send a connection to the site to my daughter and daughter in law who both do home school and one of my grandchildren is doing a joint enrollment in American history, so she will find it interesting. And this picture has been sitting around our house since I got it on 2008. Fun. ...
