RARE BERT STERN ORIGINAL CHROMOGENIC MARILYN MONROE PHOTOGRAPH THE LAST SITTING

Description: EDIT 8/2/23 I REMOVED THE PHOTO FROM THE FRAME TO VERIFY IT IS ON PHOTO PAPER AND AN ORIGINAL FROM THE NEGATIVE. I CLEANED THE GLASS AND RESHOT THE PHOTOS OUT OF THE FRAME TO ELIMINATE GLARE. THERE REMAINS THREE SPOTS ON THE PHOTOGRAPH AS SHOWN IN THE LAST THREE PHOTOS. ALL ELSE LOOKS CLEAN. THERE IS SOME WAVES ALONG THE TOP PROBABLY FROM REMOVING THE PHOTO. THEY SHOULD FLATTEN OUT IN TIME.THE RED TINT PHOTOGRAPH IS A CHROMOGNIC, THE PROCESS OF PHOTOGRAPHIC FILM DEVELOPMENT IN WHICH SILVER HALIDES ACTIVATE PRECURSORS OF CHEMICAL DYES. THE PHOTO PAPER IS COMPLETLY WATERMARKED WITH "THIS PAPER IS MANUFACTURED BY KODAK" AND IS NO DOUBT AN ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAPH FROM NEGATIVE. FADING AS SHOWN IS QUITE MINIMUM FOR THIS TYPE OF PHOTO AND AGE. THE PHOTOGRAPH HAS STRONG COLORING THROUGHOUT.FRESH AFTER MANY YEARS TO THE MARKET FROM A LONG TIME COLLECTOR IS A VINTAGE ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAPH FROM ORIGINAL TRANSPARENCIES, SIGNED IN SILVER SHARPIE AND NUMBERED. #62/250 I BELIEVE THIS WAS NAMED "NOT BAD FOR 36" TAKEN DURING A 3 DAY BOOZY PHOTO SHOOT AT THE BEL-AIR HOTEL, KNOWN AS " THE LAST SITTING" THESE PHOTOS ARE ARGUABLY THE MOST FAMOUS AND DESIRABLE OF AMERICA'S MOST FAMOUS MOVIE STAR. MARILYN WAS DEAD 6 WEEKS AFTER THIS PHOTO WAS TAKEN.IT COULD BE REMATTED SINCE THERE ARE SPOTS ON THE BLACK MATTE WHERE SOME STAINING STARTED AROUND THE EDGE.. I WILL LEAVE IT TO THE NEXT GUY TO HANDLE THE REMATTING IF SO DESIRED.
