Important Added Info: Note that snipe on the back of this great candid (which has been slightly trimmed and now measures 7 1/2" x 9 3/4" [19 x 25 cm]) says that the director told Greta Garbo to "pin back your ears", which was then current American slang, but Garbo, being a newcomer to English, took him literally and started trying to pin her ears back! Condition: good to very good. The blank borders were neatly partially trimmed and there is light rippling at top center, caused by the snipe glued to the back. Learn More about condition grades
