Important Added Info: Fabulous one of a kind 8x10 portrait negative of exotic beauty, Maria Montez and character actor, Turhan Bey. Superb clarity and detail with India ink numbering on front and studio retouching on the emulsion side. This was the actual negative inside the camera taken by the photographer at the time and as such is a one-of-a-kind collectible! 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. 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: fine. A sterling example of a properly archived negative. Subtle flaws on edges from general use but overall in remarkable condition considering age and format. Learn More about condition grades
