Description

Loretta Young by Edwin Bower Hesser (1920s). Portrait (10.25" X 13").
Vintage double weight, cream-toned bromide photo. This lovely, soft-focused image of Loretta Young was taken early in her career, by Edwin Bower Hesser, who was a contract photographer working with many Hollywood stars of the 1920s. He left California for a time to create his own magazine publication, then returned in the 1940s. Many of these bromide prints were given to the stars for their own personal collection. This still, which features a deckled edge and no borders, has a minor tear at the top, and a pinpoint surface abrasion in the top right of the background. It is numbered #12 with Young's name on the verso in Hesser's hand. Fine/Very Fine.
