Important Added Info: Includes rare off camera poses - 4 studio issued transparencies released by the studio for publicity purposes at the time of the original release. Exhibits color shift. Note that these are "studio-issued" transparencies. What are they? They were produced by the studio but are not the camera original. They are very high quality and were created in quantity by the studios and sent to media outlets or other places that had need of the very highest quality image for reproduction purposes (in newspapers, magazines, or elsewhere). A clear border around a 4x5 transparency denotes duplication from a negative source, a black border denotes duplication from a positive source. Each of the transparencies is in a plastic sleeve (but we removed each and scanned them, so that bidders could see just how high quality they are). They will be sent to the winner of the auction in their plastic sleeves. The coloring of each transparency has changed over the years, and our consignor prepared a "color corrected" version (through PhotoShop), and we have an image of the transparencies as they appear alongside the color corrected versions, but of course, the auction is for a group of 4 transparencies. Condition: good to very good. The color of the transparencies has changed from how they originally were, but otherwise, they are in nice condition. We have supplied a second image of two of them that have been "color corrected" to look as they originally were (see above). Of course, the new owner can color correct the other two as well, but we wanted to show how much better they look after this is done. Learn More about condition grades
