Few arrivals in the years after their 1920 marriage drew as much attention as that of Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks, the film stars whose fame made them the best-known couple in the English-speaking world. Here the pair are shown at Southampton, the English port where transatlantic liners docked, a reminder that their trips abroad were staged as public events. The glass negative is from the Bain News Service, a New York picture agency that covered news and celebrities for newspapers. The record gives no date, so the scene is best understood as part of the wider era of film star travel between America and Europe.
