Original Description:
This is an antique glamorous original great photo of lovely actress Ava Gardner. The photographer was taken by an unknown photographer. The photo was printed in the 1940s making this photo about 80 years old.

In addition, I have included 2 photos of Hugh Pickett from whom this photograph originally came from.  Note: a copy of the Pickett photos are not included in the auction.  Just shown for entertainment purposes and to show who the man himself was.  Please see ...information on Pickett below.
This is a used photograph, matte, single weight paper stock.  Photo put on board.  Ready to be framed.  It has information on back that says it came from a museum.  An excellent and very rare photograph.  It is large, with border it is 11 x 13 3/4 inches inches without the border it is 9 x 11 1/2 inches.
A fine photo to display in a photo album or by matting and framing.  See photos and Item Specifics above.  This is a real press photo from a collection we are selling from the famed Hugh Pickett Memorabilia Collection (See more on him below). Please feel free to ask questions. Thanks for looking and good luck. 
In addition, I am now offering cheaper shipping if wanted.  1st class shipping is $3.50 with a tracking number.  However, I prefer to send my items Priority because it has tracking and up to $50.00 insurance and to get it to you faster.  But if you want, just wait until the auction ends and I will send an invoice with the 1st class shipping charges but please ask before I send the invoice at auctions end.  Note: I always send 1st class shipping on all foreign orders which is always about $14.00 to $15.75.  Canada is usually around 9.00 to 11.50.
The late Hugh Pickett liked to collect stuff. Antiques, art, movie posters, autographed photos of Hollywood stars — his Kerrisdale home was brimming with all sorts of treasures.Nine years after Pickett’s death, it all went up for auction.  On Aug. 26, 1915, Love’s Auction in Richmond sold off  the Hugh Pickett estate. Thousands of pieces went up for grabs, reflecting the diverse tastes of the impresario who was Vancouver’s top promoter from the 1940s until the 1980s.He was born Hugh Frank Digby Pickett was born on April 11, 1913 in Vancouver, British Columbia and he went on to be a Canadian impresario who made major contributions to Vancouver’s arts and entertainment scene.  He started out as a usher and went on to become a manager and press agent with Theatre Under the Stars and brought many entertainers to town from  around the world.  It is hard to overestimate Hugh Pickett’s impact on Vancouver. Pickett led the fight to save the Orpheum Theatre when it was threatened with demolition in the 1970s. He talked the manager at the Hotel Georgia into letting Nat King Cole stay there in the 1950s, breaking the color barrier at the big downtown hotels. He was the promoter behind the Rolling Stones show that turned into a riot in 1972.As far as Dietrich goes, he was Marlene Dietrich's business manager for 12 years and they remained friends for even longer.According to Gordon Boyd, who was Pickett’s partner for 30 years, he had every photo of Dietrich ever printed and many other unique items from the great lady of cinema.Mary Pickford, Elvis Presley, Bette Davis, Mae West, Bob Hope, Jack Benny, Tyrone Power, Lillian Gish, Katharine Hepburn, Phyllis Diller, Sir Laurence Olivier, Sir John Gielgud, Margot Fonteyn, Mischa Baryshnikov, Louis Armstrong, Nat King Cole, Igor Stravinsky, Arthur Rubenstein, Maria Callas, Leonard Bernstein — these are only a few of the people Pickett knew or at least met and had memorabilia from.In 1986, he was made a Member of the Order of Canada in recognition for his involvement with "Vancouver's famed Theatre Under The Stars".Pickett died on Feb. 13, 2006, at the age of 92. 
On May-05-19 at 12:59:29 PDT, seller added the following information:Someone wanted to know if I had another photo of Gardner that was like this.  I do not but I am putting on another photo (not included in the auction itself) that shows that it is her body type.
Also, the photo looks much better than this digital photo.  It is much clearer and in better focus.
In addition, it does say on the back that it is her.
If anyone has any further information, than please let me know?
