c. 1922 Large photograph of Ziegfeld Follies actress Caroline Pierson, striking a risqué pose, and taken by famous photographer Alfred Cheney Johnston. Stamped on the back by the artist and purchased from his estate many decades ago, this is as good as art photography gets from the era with exceptional tones and use of light. The photo grades a perfect 10/10 and is being offered here for the first time ever! This is likely the actress "Nina" Pierson who was another of the tragic victims of Ziegfeld, having dies at a young age.
