About the Item

American actress Marilyn Monroe relaxes on the sofa of her suite at the Ambassador Hotel in New York whilst reading 'To the Actor: On the Technique of Acting', the classic guide to acting by Michael Chekhov. Her legs are curled up into the frame of the photograph. Although Chekhov's tome partly obscures her face, Monroe's identifiable platinum blond coiffure catches the light that streams through a nearby window and illuminates her like a halo. The Ambassador Hotel was located at 38 East 51st Street in New York City, only a few blocks away from the Rockefeller Building. Original photograph by Ed Feingersh, from March 1955. 16" x 20" print Silver Gelatin print. Prints are made from the scanned original negative, and are offered as Silver Gelatin Prints. These are a high quality modern resin-coated emulsion darkroom paper used for the production of darkroom prints. Exposed by hand and machine dried and fixed. Prints are produced to order and lead times up to 7 working days. Printed later from the Hulton Archive and Getty Images. Other print sizes may be available, enquire through the gallery. Taken from the world’s largest photographic archive, (Hulton Archive and Getty Images), the Getty Images Gallery collection features an extraordinary time capsule of the last century – social and political images that both made the news, as well as images from behind the headlines, which show the human race at work and play. This stunning collection of photographs encompasses both the public and private lives of the 20th Century and its personalities. Including both famous and relatively unknown images, this glimpse into the Getty Images archive provides an insight into renowned social documentary photography, street photography, and of course, celebrity imagery.
