Up for sale this MAGNIFICENT SILVER
PRINT (REAL PHOTOGRAPH) PORTRAIT OF DANCER AND ACTRESS:
LOUISE BROOKS
HERE IS A RARE VINTAGE PRINT OF LOUISE BROOKS
BY ALFRED CHENEY JOHNSTON, ca.1924. The size of the photograph
is 11" x 14" with 1/2" white borders on double
weight glossy photo paper. Stamped on verso with purple stamp
stating "Kindly Give Credit to Alfred Cheney Johnston"
and black estate stamp. This same image (or slight variation)
sold in March 2008 at PROFILES IN HISTORY (see Auction Catalog
31 record on their website and ebay page below) in Los Angeles
for $9,500.
PROVENANCE: ACJ estate. Brooks became infamous in the Jazz
Age for her sharp wit, raging beauty and outrageous behavior.
She and Johnston probably made an interesting pair, since
the photographer was also well known for his humor and wit.
This remarkable Johnston photograph was one
in a series of Louise Brook's images commissioned by POLICE
GAZETTE for their December 13, 1924 cover.
It appears the photographer humorously posed
her in a "jailbird" theme. This photograph is reproduced
on page 152 in the book "JAZZ AGE BEAUTIES, The Lost
Collection of Ziegfeld Photographer Alfred Cheney Johnston."
Condition is Very Good, with slight age wear
and thin uneven vintage trim line on right white margin edge.
A beautiful print with lovely tones. Please email me if you
have any questions.
