What a Way to Treat an Original Hurrell!

Every once in a while, I get very lucky and pick up an original Hurrell.  Even a Montgomery collector (hoarder) like me has spending limits, so obtaining one at a good price is always a thrill for me.  I ran across this photograph taken for No More Ladies (1935) about a year ago.  No thrills since ... 

Just love the clarity of an original print.  One can enlarge a part of it and the clarity is retained.

And if you have a really good print ... yeah, this is a good one.

And if you need further validation, there's always that Hurrell M.G.M stamp on the back.  The ink has faded; it is barely readable.  The green stamp on the lower left corner is by the council set up to make sure everything produced by the studios passed code.  Which explains the holes punched at the top of the photograph.  Many of those photographs were kept in two-hole binders.  What a way to treat an original Hurrell!
