BETTY GRABLE in BEAUTIFUL LEGGY PORTRAIT Original Vintage 1940s Photo

Description: A 1940s Original / Vintage 7" x 9 1/2" photograph of BETTY GRABLE. A stunning leggy portrait of the beautiful Betty Grable. Original vintage borderless photograph on glossy single weight paper stock (the scans are taken with a black background to best view the condition of the photographs edges and corners). FROM THE GEORGE SMOOTS COLLECTION. The photo is in VERY FINE condition, light dimpling above the bottom edge from where a press snipe was once attached to the reverse. - I am unsure if this photo has been trimmed. I understand that photographers from the period often preferred borderless photos of the portraits of their subjects. I surmise if this photo has been trimmed, it was done so by the original photographer when it was originally acquired. - Grading is subjective, please use the oversized scans included in the listing to best determine condition.Please Note - The "COLLECTORS SHELF ORIGINAL PHOTOS" protective watermark is not on the actual photo and is only on the scan attached to the listing, allowing you to BUY WITH CONFIDENCE. I've use a faint watermark in order to allow you to still view the detail contained within the photo, while still providing the protection of the watermark. PLEASE SCROLL DOWN PAST THE OVERSIZED SCANS SHOWN BELOW FOR DETAILS OUTLINING THE PROVENANCE PERTAINING TO THIS PHOTO.

Mr. Smoots wa an oil company credit manager, who had a love for the movies and collected photos of Hollywood stars from the 1920s until his passing in 1951. Mr. Smoots knew most of the studio photographers and through these connections was able to amass a sizable collection. This collection remained undisturbed from his death in 1951 until the early 1980s. The majority of the collection was donated to the Margaret Herrick Library at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences in 1992. At that time the donation was the largest one-time donation of photographs ever made by a private party to the Library. An article describing this donation can be found in the June, 1992 Academy Report (Volume 1, No. 2). This photo is part of the remaining photographs that were not donated to AMPAS and represent the best of the best of the Smoots collection. Please keep checking back, as many of the photos from this collection will be made available over the coming months.Things you should know about our photographs: We only sell original vintage / antique collectible photographs.
