THIS RARE AND ORIGINAL GELATIN SILVER 8 X 10 PRINT WAS TAKEN BY JOHN VACHON IN AUGUST OF 1953.
ON SET OF: "RIVER OF NO RETURN" IN BANFF SPRINGS, JASPER NATIONAL PARK IN ALBERTA CANADA.
JOHN VACHON WAS SENT BY: " LOOK" MAGAZINE TO PHOTOGRAPH MARILYN FOR AN UPCOMING "SPREAD" TITLED: "HOLLYWOOD COMES TO CANADA", FOR THE OCTOBER 1953 MAGAZINE RELEASE.
DURING THIS TIME, MARILYN HAD INJURED HER ANKLE, AND THERE ARE PHOTOS OF HER WITH A CAST TAKEN BY VACHON, BEFORE HE DEPARTED CANADA IN LATE AUGUST FOR NEW YORK.
IN THIS PHOTO, YOU CAN NOTICE SWELLING IN HER LEFT LEG, (ANKLE AND CALF). UNFORTUNATELY, "LOOK" MAGAZINE DECIDED TO GO WITH ONLY ABOUT 5 PHOTOS MAINLY OF HER AND JOE DIMAGGIO FOR OCTOBER'S RELEASE.
ALL NEGATIVES AND DEVELOPED PHOTOS FROM THIS SITTING THAT WEREN'T USED FOR THE MAGAZINE WERE EVENTUALLY SENT TO THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES IN WASHINGTON D.C.
THE IMAGES ARE WIDELY AVAILABLE NOW VIA THE INTERNET BUT THEY WERE ONLY RELEASED FROM THE D.C. ARCHIVES CIRCA. 2003.
THIS ORIGINAL GELATIN SILVER PRINT IS 68 YEARS OLD AND SURELY NEVER TO BE FOUND AGAIN IN ITS TRUE ORIGINAL FORM.
ABSOLUTELY EXCELLENT CLARITY, BEAUTIFUL PRINT, VERY MINOR TONING, A TRULY FLATTERING PIECE,1 EXTREMELY MINOR SURFACE WRINKLE TO THE TOP, A FEW INSIGNIFICANT "CRACK"/"BUCKLES" TO EMULSION.
895-S-22 = 895 WAS JOHN VACHON'S ASSIGNED "LOOK" # FOR MARILYN. S MEANS "SHOT", 22 IS THE NEGATIVE # FILM SEQUENCE.
