Vintage original 8 x 9.75 in. US double-weight glossy photograph from the 1970s prostitution-themed drama, PRETTY BABY, released in 1978 by Paramount Pictures and directed by Louis Malle, in which a teenage girl lives as a prostitute in New Orleans in 1917.
The image depicts an exterior shot of Violet (Brooke Shields), the child-bride of Bellocq (Keith Carradine) as they and their friends "...leave New Orleans in 1917 after the red-light district has been closed down" in a vintage automobile. Affixed to the bottom of the verso is the original paper snipe (which has subsequently come loose) that describes the image. It is untrimmed in very fine condition as shown.
