Artifact: The Great Profile Photograph

"The Great Profile", photographed in the 1920s
 
           The Great Profile was a famous photograph taken of John. He gets one, and probably his most famous nickname, from the photo. It is titled The Great Profile because it was an amazing profile (side of the face) shot of Barrymore. The serious in his face shows what a serious actor he was when it came to his tragedian career. The picture was also taken in the 1920s, right around the time he peaks as an actor. This was the first of many profile shots of Barrymore.
