Description

Rare Ektachrome outtake from a 1951 advertising shoot

Original vintage color 8 x 10 Kodak Ektachrome transparency of Marilyn Monroe taken by Tom Kelley in a 1951 photo shoot for City Club Shoes. The appealing image shows Monroe in a red winter coat and leopard-print hat, holding a pennant over her shoulder. A slightly different image from the shoot was ultimately used in the City Club Shoes advertisement, cropped to Monroe's face—this is likely an unpublished outtake. Kelley is best known for his 1949 'Red Velvet' nudes of Monroe. In fine condition.
