1951 Extremely rare photograph of young Marilyn Monroe, before she was a star, and showing her in one of her wardrobe test shots for the obscure film "Love Nest." The photo is a head to toe shot that has the blackboard placard on the lower left that shows the date, film, and other studio information, this is a perfect condition work of art that is being offered fresh from a newspaper archive and offered here for the first time ever. It is impossible to accurately determine when this image was developed, but the image does not fluoresce under a black light and was developed on fiber backed paper which feels consistent with the 1960's, making it restrike from likely just after Marilyn passed away and the film was being re-released. A perfect 10/10 dark room masterpiece of Hollywood photography!
