Vintage gelatin silver glossy linen-backed 11" x 7.75" key book photograph of Jean Harlow in Platinum Blonde by Irving Chidnoff, with C-47 in India ink on the negative. Key book sets were assembled for the West Coast and East Coast theatrical exhibitors and hand-printed in the gallery. No more than four were printed.
