Description
15" (38 cm.) x 13". Bound in red Moroccan leather, the book features 25 art portrait photographs of Shirley Temple in various costumes from her 1938 film "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm". Iconic costumes from the film including the plaid shirt and overalls, the audition dress, and the Toy Trumpet uniform are featured, but most notable are the various mood changes portrayed in her facial views, achieved by dramatic shadowed lighting. The photographs are dry mounted on heavy grey stock and each is pencil signed "Hurrell 38" 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 it to Shirley Temple. Excellent condition.
