Product description
At the height of the 1930s studio era, Elmer Fryer captured the sharp-eyed intensity that defined a legend. This print showcases the actress in a moment of quiet, holding a cigarette while wearing a distinctive hooded white wrap fastened with an ornate jeweled brooch.
About Bette Davis
Bette Davis (1908–1989) was a two-time Oscar winner famous for All About Eve. Mid-century glamour photography captures the style of the film stars of the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. Celebrity portraits capture public figures in a single defining image. Without colour, a photograph relies on contrast, texture and composition, which is why black and white feels timeless.
