Marilyn Monroe, Peasant - P-44 Taken on the French village set used to film What Price Glory, the combination of costume and set gives Marilyn a wistful peasant appearance. Appropriately referred to as the 'Peasant' sitting, this series is one of The Archives favorites.

Marilyn Monroe Ballerina - B-4 Created in 1954 at Milton's studio in New York City, this image is from one of Milton and Marilyn's most recognized collaborations - the 'Ballerina' sitting. Clothing designer Ann Klein sent various outfits to Milton's studio for Marilyn to wear. The outfits, however, were two sizes too small and all of the poses in this sitting amusingly had to deal with the problem of holding up the front of the ill-fitting toile and satin dress. The most recognized image from this sitting was chosen as one of Time-Life's three most popular images of the 20th Century. This image was first published in 1973 and has never been previously exhibited. It is being shown as a part of 'Portraits of an Era', produced by The Archives in collaboration with Hewlett Packard.

Marilyn Monroe Horseback - AZ-42 These pictures were first found in 1994 while producing Milton's Marilyn and some were included in the book, but this one, (one of our favorites), has never been exhibited or published until now. What's humorous about this picture is that, in order for Milton to take it, he had to ride. Being a kid from the streets of Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, riding horses was not as natural as playing stick ball. Just imagine a New York kid with striped shirt, slacks, and Italian loafers taking these photographs while balancing a camera, controlling the reins, and hanging on for dear life.
