Clarence Sinclair Bull :: Vintage and original pre-code Hollywood pin-up photograph of silent film and early talkie actress Edwina Booth, early 1930’s.
The press snipe on verso reads: “She sighs by the seaside! Edwina Booth, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer featured player, gives her impression in blackout of what the well dressed bathing belle wears when she takes her daily dip.”

Katharine Hepburn (RKO, 1930′s).
A
casually beautiful portrait of the young star in a striped art deco
bathing suit, ready for a day at the beach. Just a tremendous Golden Age
of Hollywood artifact that appears to have been published in an issue
of Motion Picture Magazine. The exact year is unknown, but handwritten
text to verso seems to link this to a publicity campaign for a Hepburn
movie that never completed filming, “Three Came Unannounced.” original source: eBay / via
