    This is a particularly rare item in my collection. An original 8x10 size colour negative transparency from 1956 of the iconic Jayne Mansfield. It is in mint condition.

    An interesting side story: Our family has some close ties to the iconic actress. My great aunt and her husband met & knew her well while they were living in California during the late 1950’s and early 1960’s.

    Nice item, particularly with the family history. Technically, it is a positive transparency, like a color slide, as the colors (though faded) appear in their proper relation.

    Thank you the proper description of the item. Yes, the family history part is certainly interesting, when I was young I recall seeing pictures of my aunt and Jayne together.

    I always admired her. She took her assets and made a career out of them when the American media wanted to portray all women as wearing a dress and apron in the kitchen where they belonged.
