Item Description
Original issue 9.5x15.5" calendar has 7.75x10" full color image of the famous "Golden Dreams" Marilyn Monroe nude photo. Although photo was originally taken by Tom Kelley in 1949, it is used here w/a complete 1955 calendar pad during the height of her popularity. Calendar imprint is for Alexander's Grocery of Honey Brook/Reedsville, PA. Calendar comes w/thin plastic overlay sheet w/printed black negligee to display over nude image of Monroe, creating a less graphic display. Margins of calendar show wear w/some creasing at corners and scattered streaks of moisture staining at lower left margin. Fine overall, but image remains clean and bright. Image displays Exc. Comes w/original issue 8.25x10-1/8" cardboard framed calendar featuring same image. Monroe's image is printed on die-cut cardboard w/inset thermometer and attached complete 1954 calendar pad. Frame has lt. corner tip wear but o/w Exc. This is a rather uncommon two-in-one multi-purpose design. Nice calendar pair, featuring one of Marilyn's most iconic images.
