So I did some research I to this and yeah, it might look like that but this image was lifted from the Getty image archive where they claim it is just a high res scan of the original medium format negative.

I suspect they applied some dust removal and maybe a contrast curve.

You’d be surprised how good some of these negatives can look after all this time, right?

The image itself was taken by a chap called Murray Garrett. He used to be Bob Hope’s personal photographer, but shot loads of celebrities up until the late 60s.

Look at this banger of Marilyn Munroe
