Original vintage black and white studio publicity photograph featuring British film star Jessie Matthews.
The lower margin reads "Jessie Matthews – A GB Star," indicating this photograph was issued by Gaumont-British Pictures, the studio responsible for many of Matthews' most popular films during the 1930s. These studio publicity photographs were distributed to theaters, newspapers, and magazines to promote the studio's stars and productions.
The portrait captures Matthews in an elegant glamour pose typical of classic studio photography from the golden age of British cinema. Jessie Matthews was one of the most recognizable musical film stars of the 1930s and appeared in numerous successful productions for Gaumont-British during the decade.
Size:
Approximately 8 x 10 inches.
A wonderful collectible for fans of Jessie Matthews, collectors of British cinema history, Gaumont-British studio memorabilia, or vintage Hollywood and film publicity photography.
