[Los Angeles]: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, [1942]. Set of sixteen vintage original 8 x 10″ (20 x 25 cm.) deluxe black-and-white double weight matte photos, each ink stamped by photographer Clarence Bull. Fine.
Beautiful deluxe quality photos printed at MGM studios for exhibit purposes. Acquired from the collection of a publicist who worked at MGM at the time, and likely all photographed in the photographer’s studio or on the soundstage set for the film (depicting an outdoor rural scene) on the same day. These are the best-known photographs which publicized this story and the actors’ characterizations based on John Steinbeck’s novel.
Please note that a few photos are a bit less than 10″ vertical but this is a custom printing and not trimmed.
