Original Description:
ITEM: This is a vintage and original medium format 120 film black and white camera negative of Bettie Page taken in 1954 by Bunny Yeager.
This campy portrait features the iconic and notorious Ms. Page from a series Yeager shot of Bettie where she asked the already quite well known pin-up model to imagine how she looked in the eyes of other people. Costumes from this series included Bettie dressed as a Baby Doll, a Devil Doll, Daisy Mae from Li'l Abner fame, and Lucille Ball. In this... odd frame Bettie Page is channelling a bag lady carrying two sacks of her belongings and eating a banana, hmnn? This unpublished frame is literally unique to this estate collection and one of a kind. 
Yeager in her notes from a proposed Best of Bettie Page pictorial book states that she thought Bettie Page could have become a stage and film actress had she chosen that path.
This is an unpublished frame we believe and was carefully stored by Bunny Yeager since 1954 and has never been offered on the secondary retail market.
Measures approx. 2 1/4" square.

PLEASE NOTE: The auction is for the Kodak Safety Film black and white camera negative which we converted to a positive view in the scans here. The watermark does not appear on the actual negative.
