Black and white original negative photograph from the Edward Weston Collection by the Esquire, Vogue and Life magazine photographer Andre de Dienes. It was he who gave the young Norma Jeane her first modelling job in 1945, when she was aged 19. A five-week road trip photographing her across California, Nevada, and New Mexico resulted in a love affair and numerous magazine covers around the world. Their working relationship continued until 1953 and his images are considered to be among the best studies ever taken of her. Stamped and dated authentication on the back and embossed Weston seal on the lower right.
