Fabulous glossy 11 x 13.5 gelatin silver photo of Monroe in a cheeky pose at Long Island's Tobey Beach in 1949. Reverse bears an Andre de Dienes photography stamp. In fine condition. In 1945, de Dienes became the first photographer to shoot the young Norma Jeane as a professional model. His photos of Monroe appeared on over twenty-three magazine covers from 1945 to 1949 worldwide. A wonderful, early pose of the playful Marilyn. From the Globe Photo archives.
