Wow, we've seen a few test photos of Marilyn Monroe before, but not sure we've ever seen one present her so naturally. Though this image is from nearly the end of her career, if you look closely you can see the faint re-emergence of... the innocence seen in her earliest images! Magnificent head shot of Monroe and a rare studio artifact indeed in amazing high grade condition. It's pricey but your not likely to see another one for quite a while! This photo is guaranteed VINTAGE AND ORIGINAL to the period it was taken. It is not a later re-strike or modern print. It is not computer generated.
