Description

Jean Harlow by Edwin Bower Hesser (1928-29). Portrait Still (10.25" X 13.25").
Vintage double weight, cream-toned bromide, matte, deckled-edge still. This exquisite early image of seventeen or eighteen-year old Jean Harlow clutching roses, is a rare and important photograph. Harlow had just made her film debut in 1928 and posed for noted photographer Edwin Hesser, most famously for a series of nude portraits. Although she is already a platinum blonde, her look is softer and less polished than her later images. Recto: Edwin Bower Hesser embossed blind stamp. Near Mint.
