Back to the post of a week ago ... there was a second lot of photos I purchased, this one all Bobs! Once again not all the photos were treasures (for example, deteriorating stills from Eye Witness), but there were a number of great finds in my eyes. The photo below may be showing its age, but it is such a lovely, unusual shot of Bob.
Bob in 1933
It is by Hurrell and a number of great photos came out of the same session. The most famous one is below, the over-inked copy available as a poster from various outlets. Not to complain about it, just to in part explain the difference in the two photos. I happen to have the poster print framed and hanging on the wall above my computer desk. He is just such a gorgeous dude at this time ... handsome, confident with just a touch of a smirk, as if to say: "Can you believe how much these people are paying me for this?"

The top photo may be faded, but it has more character!
Agreed. I like the laid-back Bob, a very informal stance with his legs crossed in that manner.
