Important Added Info: Note that the first of these negatives show Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall arriving by plane for a publicity tour to promote this movie and the second shows a theater lobby with posters for this movie! Note that these are negatives that were in the camera when the photographer shot the photos (see below for more on this). We have put a scan of each negative that shows the "positive image" (in addition to a scan of the negative image). REMEMBER THAT WHAT YOU RECEIVE WILL BE PHOTOGRAPHIC NEGATIVES, NOT POSITIVE IMAGES LIKE YOU ARE SEEING. However, we will provide the winning bidder of this auction the positive image scans that are both high quality and not watermarked (on request to the winning bidder, and only the winning bidder). We scanned them, so that bidders could see just how high quality they are. What are camera original negatives? These often (but not always) have retouching on the emulsion side, and negative numbers written in India ink on the front. Depending on the studio some 8x10 negatives may be trimmed or have numbers or information embedded into the sides of the negative. Obviously, camera original negatives are far more rare (and far more desirable) than studio-issued ones, but both are very high quality. Condition: good to very good.
