Album of Portrait Photographs of Shirley Temple by George Hurrell From the 1937 Film "Heidi"

Live Auction

15" (38 cm.) x 13". Bound in red Moroccan leather, the book features 30 art portrait photographs of Shirley Temple in various costumes from her 1937 film "Heidi". Although the most famous costumes including the Magic Dutch Shoes costume are shown, what is most notable is the shadowed nuance of character achieved by Hurrell in the facial views. The photographs are dry mounted on heavy grey stock and each is pencil signed "Hurrell 37" below the photograph. The photographs were taken by George Hurrell, under commission from Fox Studios, and the subsequent bound album with gold tooled lettering on the cover was presented to Shirley Temple, likely one-of-a-kind. Excellent condition.
