The Basil Rathbone Gallery

Candid Photos

Most of the following photos are ones that have been offered for sale on EBAY. In most cases I do not know where or when the photo was taken, or who else is in the picture. Where I do have information, I have written it below the photo. Please feel free to e-mail me to add or correct any information here.

Since there are several pages of candid photos, I have attempted to organize them in the following manner:

Page 1
candid photos on movie sets
Page 2
more candid photos on movie sets
Page 3
candid photos taken at Rathbone parties
Page 4
Family photos
Page 5
miscellaneous candid photos
Page 6
