Large 1954 photograph of actress and model Marilyn Monroe busting onto a stage to entertain the troops in Korea. The men are going crazy and she is standing beneath a large signed that reads "welcome Marilyn." While photos exist from her goodwill tours, this is the largest and finest example we have ever seen and the first of this particular specimen we have ever seen in any form. Stamped on the back by the United Press International, this is a c. 1963 example making it just beyond the five years to be a vintage 1 but still a clean example off the original negative.
