Date Sold 6/4/2017 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. A Set of 6 Original Vintage Belgian Glass Slides (measures 3 1/2" x 4 3/4" [9 x 12 cm]) (Learn More) Greta Garbo was a legendary romantic Swedish actress from the 1924 to 1941 (she retired at the age of 35, still extremely popular, and lived in seclusion for many decades afterwards, living by her trademark expression, "I want to be alone"). Almost all other major leading ladies of the mid 1920s had their careers diminished or ruined by the coming of sound, but not Garbo, all the more remarkable because she was not native English-speaking and she had a strong accent. She first rose to prominence in a movie in her native Sweden, and then attracted the interest of Hollywood, but she would only sign a contract if they would sign her director as well, and MGM agreed! Some of her movies include: Ninotchka (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Queen Christina, Grand Hotel, Anna Christie (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Romance (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), and Camille (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film). Garbo passed away in 1990 at the age of 84. Important Added Info: Note that, normally, glass slides were designed to be put in a special projector that would project the image onto a movie screen (they use exactly the same concept as 35mm slides). However, that could not be the case here, because they would have had no reason to project negative images! So we are not really sure what this set was created for. Each of the glass slides is in a glassine sleeve, and they are contained in a printed box that has "Gevaert Gevachrom Super-Ortho Anti-Halo 32o Tropical" on the cover (and Gevaert was a leading Belgian photographic paper manufacturer), but that doesn't really help us identify what it is. The box was designed to contain around 16 of these glass slides, and there are only 6 in it, so obviously, around 10 are missing. If anyone knows more about these, please e-mail us and we will post it here. We have taken a digital scan of each slide that shows the negative image well, and we have also photographed the cover of the box. Condition: good to very good. The glass slides that are present are in nice condition. As noted above, the box originally contained more than 6, perhaps 16. There is much writing around the edges of the cover of the box, and some on the back of it. Learn More about condition grades
