Andre de dienes signed vintage press photograph, 1966, with studio stamps

Original black and white press photograph by Andre de Dienes (1913-1985), the photographer who discovered Marilyn Monroe and shot for Esquire, Vogue and LIFE. A figure study in sand dunes - his signature work: natural location, natural light, a living pose. What makes this one collectable is the back. It carries the full provenance of a press copy: - the photographer's own studio stamp, PHOTO ANDRE DE DIENES, 1401 Sunset Plaza Drive, Hollywood - a one time publication rights stamp - an editorial date stamp, OCT 17 1966 - and a handwritten note from de Dienes to the editor, signed by him So you get an autograph and a documented press history on the same print. The mark in the top left corner is in the negative, not a fault of the print - the photographer says so in his own handwriting on the back. Kept flat in an archival sleeve. Serious collectors welcome to ask for detail shots of the stamps and the signature. Collection in Paphos, or I can ship it properly packed.
