THE RARE STUNNING COMPLETE PORTFOLIO OF 10 LARGE ICONIC SILVER GELATIN PRINTS OF MARILYN MONROE BY PHILIPPE HALSMAN. EXTREMELY RARE ARTIST PROOF: From the collection of John Springer one of Monroe's press representatives. This portfolio was given to Springer by Yvonne Halsman at the time of publication. Nine of the prints are from Halsman's famous 1952 shoot at Monroe's apartment for LIFE Magazine including the cover shot for the April 7 1952 issue; one "Marilyn Jumping" from his 1959 "Jumpology" series. Halsman explained the circumstances of the 1952 shoot: "I drove to the outskirts of Los Angeles where she lived in a two-room apartment. What impressed me in the living room was the obvious striving for self-improvement. I saw a photograph of Eleanora Duse and a multitude of books that I did not expect to find there like the works of Dostoevsky Freud the history of Fabian socialism etc. On the floor were two barbells."

In addition to the LIFE cover photograph and "Marilyn Jumping" the portfolio includes: "Portrait of Marilyn 1952"; "Marilyn with Barbells 1952"; "Marilyn Entering the Closet 1952"; "Marilyn Flirting 1952"; "Marilyn at the Drive-In 1952"; "Marilyn Listening to Music 1952"; "The True Marilyn 1952"; "Marilyn-Mao 1952".

Furthermore the fleurs-de-lis that previously adorned the shield at the top of the cartouche has been erased and the crown converted into a halo suspended above an orb a response to the execution of the king following the French Revolution Below a table of colors delineates the boundaries of the United States and European possessions. Indian nations are also labeled. The map is in excellent condition with wide margins as issued.
