1930rif. 8465EN.p: n.p n.d. c. 1930’s. Both approximately 3” x 5”. One photo is of John and Gwen Steinbeck holding hands striking a campy pose - she glancing dreamily off into the distance wearing a hat with a single extremely tall feather sticking straight up and he staring directly into the camera seemingly suppressing a grin wearing a now old-fashioned leather football helmet. The other is equally amusing with Gwen standing on a stone wall arm held high pointing dramatically into the sky while John has come up beside her and is taking liberties with the hem of her dress lifting it up and staring at her revealed legs. Both are blind stamped ‘JOHN STEINBECK’. Fine. n.p hardcover
