A Camera Original Vintage Photographic Negative (measures 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm]) (Learn More) Ginger Rogers (born Virginia Katherine McMath) was a highly successful actress from the 1930s and 1970s, who would have had a great career even if she hadn't appeared in ten movies where she was paired with Fred Astaire, although that is what she is best remembered for today! Some of her movies include: Top Hat, Gold Diggers of 1933, Swing Time, Stage Door, 42nd Street, The Gay Divorcee, The Major and the Minor, Shall We Dance, Kitty Foyle (winner of the Best Actress Academy Award for this film; in the title role as Kitty Foyle), and Follow the Fleet! She also had a successful Broadway career. Ginger passed away in 1995 at the age of 83. Important Added Info: Radiant smiling portrait of the lovely Ginger Rogers taken as publicity for her performance in the Dolly Madison biopic, MAGNIFICENT DOLL! Superb clarity and detail with India ink numbering on front and studio retouching on the emulsion side. This was the actual negative inside the camera taken by the photographer at the time and as such is a one-of-a-kind collectible! Note that this is a negative that was in the camera when the photographer shot the photo (see below for more on this). We have put a scan of the negative that shows the "positive image" (in addition to a scan of the negative image). REMEMBER THAT WHAT YOU RECEIVE WILL BE A PHOTOGRAPHIC NEGATIVE, NOT A POSITIVE IMAGE LIKE YOU ARE SEEING. However, we will provide the winning bidder of this auction that positive image scan that is both high quality and not watermarked (on request to the winning bidder, and only the winning bidder). We scanned it, so that bidders could see just how high quality it is. What are camera original negatives? These often (but not always) have retouching on the emulsion side, and negative numbers written in India ink on the front. Depending on the studio some 8x10 negatives may be trimmed or have numbers or information embedded into the sides of the negative. Obviously, camera original negatives are far more rare (and far more desirable) than studio-issued ones, but both are very high quality. Condition: fine. A sterling example of a properly archived negative. Subtle flaws on edges from general use but overall in remarkable condition considering age and format. Dust, light scratches and other slight flaws may be present that could easily be cleaned before printing or retouched after scanning - see large images for how great this looks!
