Original vintage newspaper advertisement cutout featuring Marilyn Monroe, used in period local advertising during her early-1950s peak.

This piece was clipped from an original newspaper (see reverse side with unrelated columns/ads). The ad promotes Louis Hairdressers and references Marilyn Monroe’s appearance in “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” at Loew’s Columbia, placing it in the early 1950s—most likely c. 1953 (a matching Louis Hairdressers ad with the same address/phone appears in a Washington, D.C. newspaper dated Nov. 29, 1953).
