Please note: nothing is attached, I photograph all my photos on top of a black archival box.

“Getting (Monroe) items is becoming more and more difficult," said Darren Julien…The supply's less and less, but demand's more and more because you have people in Asia and Russia and all over the world that are collecting pop culture - especially Marilyn Monroe."

-Darren Julien of Julien's Auctions

Selling my extremely rare Marilyn Monroe original photograph by photographer Sam Shaw. Here Marilyn is looking absolutely stunning in her famous White bathing suit on the beach in 1957 in Amagansett, New York. It is said that Marilyn was pregnant during this photo shoot, very historical and gorgeous photo. In excellent condition; the black spec is from the negative. Size 8x10 inch. Color gelatin silver or chromogenic. Produced from the original negative or transparency. My best guess is this was produced in the 70’s or 80’s.

From the internet:

“Shaw was also a dear friend of Marilyn's, he photographed her private life and her most vulnerable moments. In these beach photos, Marilyn was pregnant. Sadly, one month after, she had a miscarriage.”
