A Camera Original Photographic Negative (measures 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm]). Also included are two 8" x 10" positive prints of the negative. (Learn More) Countess Liev de Maigret, a real life French countess who, in 1935, apparently decided it would be fun to appear in Hollywood movies (or perhaps she had a friend who helped her do it as a lark). She solely appeared in two movies: China Seas in 1935 and One Rainy Afternoon in 1936, and then was likely returned to her French life! We were unable to find additional information about her. If anyone knows more about her, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Important Added Info: Note that our consignor purchased this original negative, together with two positive studio prints created in 1936, in an auction at Bonham's several years ago. These are surely camera originals, but beyond that, we have no additional information, and don't know who the photographer was. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. 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: good to very good. The 1936 stills that come with the negative are fragile and has wear and one has some paper loss. Learn More about condition grades
