Marilyn Monroe 'The Seven Year Itch' Subway Grate Scene Framed Print
This item is a framed black and white photographic print depicting Marilyn Monroe in the iconic 'skirt-blowing' pose from the 1955 film 'The Seven Year Itch'. The print measures approximately 24x36 inches based on visual estimation and standard poster sizes, and is encased in a simple, rather thin, black wooden or plastic frame with a glass or acrylic front. The image captures Monroe with her classic blonde curls, an open-mouthed smile, and her right hand gently touching her cheek, while her white halter-neck dress billows upwards due to air from a subway grate below. Her legs, clad in stockings, and her high-heeled shoes are visible. The photograph, a classic piece of Hollywood history, is well-focused and appears to be a good quality reproduction, although precise details of the printing process (e.g., halftone dots for a lithograph, continuous tone for a true photographic print) are not discernible from the image. The print has a clear, clean appearance, suggesting it has been kept in good condition behind the frame. There are a couple of small stickers adhered to the glass or frame covering the print: one is a colorful circular sticker of Spider-Man in the lower-left corner, and another smaller, less distinct logo or sticker is in the lower-right corner. A white, rectangular label, possibly self-adhesive, with the inscription 'Ron Loves Paula' is affixed to the bottom center of the frame, indicating a personalized touch. The frame itself appears to be in good condition with no obvious chips or damage. The overall style is reminiscent of mid-20th-century pop culture and represents an iconic moment from the Golden Age of Hollywood. The craftsmanship of the frame is utilitarian rather than ornate, suggesting it's designed to protect and display the print rather than be an elaborate art piece itself.
