Featured Marilyn Monroe by Frank Worth (from original negative)

Another made from the original negative print in my collection. Marilyn Monroe on the set of How To Marry A Millionaire, taken by photographer Frank Worth originally in 1953. This is an original release from The Frank Worth Estate and comes with authentication papers etc.

Many of these photos and negatives sat in his files for many years undiscovered until he passed away in the year 2000. I just acquired this photo from a private collection during 2017, it now hangs in my wall.

As I mentioned with the the Audrey Hepburn from the negative print, maybe this does not fall into being a “true antique” but it is definitely a close cousin considering they are made from the original source. Again, apologies if I may have veered off the true antique trail for a brief moment.

 

Sensational material!

 

Thank You very much, very nice of you to say

 

What a great photograph. Love it!

 

is it worth noting that all the pictures you are posting here, can be lifted by Bots and put up on the internet.......................?

just sayin...

 

Maybe that is why she photographs everything at an angle? Although that can be tweaked as well.
VM, you can post your photos in 'General Discussion', that is for members only.
It is a really gorgeous photo of Marilyn btw.

 

Thanks for the comments thus far, I’m also grateful for the advice. I’m not too concerned with the photos being lifted and put on the internet, at the end of the day, I have the original and all the person that had copied the photo, has just that. If they post it to their personal Facebook or whatever claiming it’s theirs, I’ll leave that to their empty conscience. But yeah I guess there are many varied types of bots as well, that follow etc.

 

Yes, I thought so too. And yes those glasses!

 

Love that picture❤

 

It’s good you have the authentication paperwork. I have a genuine photo from a set taken by Richard Avedon of Marilyn on the tiger skin rug from The Prince and the Showgirl but because it’s not stamped on the back by his studio I believe I can’t sell it, it’s a bit of a murky area.
I bought it from a car boot sale for £1 about 3 years ago.

 

Yes, I know what you mean, its nice to have that notarized paper or photographer's if one is going to sell. I will probably never sell any of my collection.
