Vintage 1952 seductive studio photograph of the ultimate sex-symbol of all time, Marilyn Monroe. Taken as her career really started to take off, this was part of a sitting for her upcoming film "Monkey Business" and done by noted photographer Frank Powolny. Bold and beautiful, this is a completely vintage studio photo that dates to the mid 1950's and it presents in stunning condition with just a touch of handling wear from age. One of her most famous studio sessions and a rare original in beautiful condition makes this a special offering! The photo is absolutely vintage and developed on period 1950's paper that does not fluoresce under a blacklight! There is some cool handwritten notes on the back from a fan that lists her photographs through the mid 1950's.
