Description

Scarce almost scandalous portrait of the ‘Black Venus’

Extremely rare vintage matte-finish 8 x 10 photo of a topless Baker, signed and inscribed in fountain pen, “To Tom, from your Josie Baker, 1953.” In fine condition, with a few trivial surface marks and tiny pin holes to each corner. While racy portraits of Baker are available, few are quite as risque. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
