Still very much fresh of face and eager to please, the young Marilyn Monroe staring back at us on this occasion is one embarking upon one of the happiest periods of her ill-fated life, whilst off on her ‘Honeymoon, 1954’.
With her famous tousled and peroxide blonde hair framing her already famous face to visual perfection, her eyes sparkly and alive, the camera as we well know finds it impossible to lie. And why should it here, as Monroe is naturally pictured excited and full of optimism of what the next chapter in her life promises.

This giclee-mounted, hand-signed limited edition study based on a monochrome photographic original is available to order today, which in itself has only been made possible by the collaborative efforts of acclaimed UK-based fine art publishers, Washington Green and the estate of one of Monroe’s (and Hollywood in general’s) most prolific lensmen and avid collectors of the photographic compendiums of fellow snappers, Edward Weston.
