Two black and white images of Marilyn Monroe printed on a single sheet of photo paper. The photographs, taken by Joseph Jasgur, show Monroe at Zuma beach wearing Jasgur's coat. Jasgur was asked by Blue Book Modeling Agency to take test shots of Monroe, then Norma Jeane Dougherty, to see if the camera liked her. The photograph is inscribed by Jasgur, "Maretta - You're a lucky girl, having the only photo like this. This is the only one I ever made on March 23, 1946, at her age of 19. I am glad we met on Aug. 23, 1990 - Joe Jasgur 4/21/92." Markings on verso read "52," "54," "Sold to Maretta, with her birthday money. Lucky Girl! Joe"; "Property of Joe Jasgur" stamp is crossed out. 10 by 8 inches Categories: Marilyn Monroe
