Auction History Result 2s0295 ESTHER WILLIAMS camera original 8x10 negative 1940s sexy swimsuit portrait on diving board! Date Sold 8/7/2022 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. A Photographic Negative (measures 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm]) (Learn More) Esther Williams was a former swimming and diving champion, who became an extremely popular actress from the 1940s to the 1960s, often, but not always, in MGM movies that showcased her swimming talents. Some of her movies include: Million Dollar Mermaid, Take Me Out to the Ball Game, Dangerous When Wet, and Jupiter's Darling. She passed away in 2013 at the age of 91. Important Added Info: Note that this is a negative that was in the camera when the photographer shot the photo (see below for more on this). We have put a scan of the negative that shows the "positive image" (in addition to a scan of the negative image). REMEMBER THAT WHAT YOU RECEIVE WILL BE A PHOTOGRAPHIC NEGATIVE, NOT A POSITIVE IMAGE LIKE YOU ARE SEEING. However, we will provide the winning bidder of this auction that positive image scan that is both high quality and not watermarked (on request to the winning bidder, and only the winning bidder). We scanned it, so that bidders could see just how high quality it is. IN THE CASE OF THIS ONE NEGATIVE, IT HAD SOME DAMAGE, AND OUR CONSIGNOR ADDED A RETOUCHED POSITIVE IMAGE SO THAT BIDDERS CAN SEE HOW GREAT IT LOOKS ONCE THAT DAMAGE IS RETOUCHED (and we WILL send the retouched positive image to the winning bidder). 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. There are some faint stains scattered on the emulsion side and paper residue on the back of the left and right, where tape was removed. There is retouching on the emulsion side, typical of many (but not all) camera original negatives (see above). The negative can be easily retouched in Photoshop. Learn More about condition grades
