Looking for Garbo

[Silhouette]

I'm looking for a studio still I'm guessing its probably an 8x10 (or thereabouts) of Greta Garbo, based on what we already own of her I suspect this image is circa 1933 around the time of Queen Cristina.

I've had a pretty good hunt but have not been able to find that specific image and it's apparently not showing up in any of the auction histories that I have searched on.



Another one earmarked for framing so you'll understand if I say it needs to be Fine or better.

thanks

This is what you are seeking.

Hey David,

I'm assuming you are looking for an original, vintage still, taken at the time, and not just the ability to print off a modern high res copy?

Yup - it would have to be an original vintage still, just wouldn't be worth having otherwise, well it would but not the same.

I believe that is one of the more famous images of Garbo - if you find an original, studio still, I would assume it's going to be several $$$

But maybe you are prepared for that already

I wasn't aware of that - my wife saw it in one of the scrapbook from the '30s we have on her (magazine cut-out), said she loved it and being married, I just nodded quietly and began the search...

You are a wise man David

I have a few Garbo stills but that ain't one of them.  This still may have been offered in one of the Profiles In History auctions a couple years back and is certainly from "Queen Christina".  It was most likely shot by C.S. Bull and as Chris said, if an original pops up, expect to pay a few hundred dollars!

Why is the file named "http://www.doctormacro.com/Images/Garbo,%20Greta/Annex/Annex%20-%20Garbo,%20Greta%20%28As%20You%20Desire%20Me%29_04.jpg" if it is from Queen Christina?

It's a good question...one for Mel, his link!

Assuming it is from the movie As You Desire Me then it really narrows the date down whereas before I was only making an educated guess (based on items we already own), it doesn't make it any easier or cheaper to find but helps narrow the field of search.

Well, perhaps I made a mistake.

No harm No Foul No worries

All the posts has helped me a lot, even if I have no still as yet.

That image will print at 8.5" x 10" at 200dpi.

Here are the other Garbo pics from the "Annex" section of that site.

Was looking through my Garbo stuff and happened across this page taken from a magazine (about 1935/36) which I have scanned for your amusement. I think it is cute and somewhat indicative of the times.

"Garbo-maniacs" eh?  I wonder if Gilbert was one of them?
