Original 1960 black and white type 1 collotype studio publicity photograph featuring legendary Hollywood actress Marilyn Monroe in a scene from the 20th Century Fox motion picture Let's Make Love. The photograph captures Monroe seated in a dressing room setting, wearing a fitted black strapless outfit and dark stockings while holding knitting needles and fabric. Her signature platinum blonde hairstyle and expressive pose create a captivating image of one of Hollywood's most celebrated screen icons.

Directed by George Cukor and starring Marilyn Monroe alongside Yves Montand, Let's Make Love was released in 1960 and remains a notable production from Monroe's later film career.

The photograph features an original printed studio legend along the lower margin identifying the scene as part of the 20th Century Fox production Let's Make Love. The reverse bears a Dell Publishing Co., Inc. photo library stamp with handwritten production information, including a July 1960 date and identification as a still photograph. These period studio and archival markings enhance the historical significance and collectible appeal of the piece.

Presented as a Type 1 collotype photograph, this vintage studio image offers an attractive opportunity for collectors of Marilyn Monroe memorabilia, original Hollywood publicity photography, classic motion picture history, and mid-century celebrity portraits. Unsigned.

Dimensions: 10 x 8 inches
