There is no question that this is one of the finest - if not the absolute finest - collections of exceptionally rare and vintage La Toya Jackson photos ever offered in public. This wonderful collection of 85 original 8 x 10 inch photos were all taken exclusive for Spec and 16 Magazine between 1970 and 1974 and show La Toya mostly in and around the Los Angeles family residence, playing with her (very young) sister Janet, brothers Michael and Jermaine, Dee Dee Jackson, Hazel Gordy, her parents and others.
A small number of these photos has - in some capacity or another - been used for publication in 16 Magazine and bears the usual production signs such as measurement indicators, 'chalk-lines' and (red) pencil markings. Some of these appear in the white borders, others affect the actual photo. For the most part however, the photos are unmarked and generally in excellent condition. All photos are printed on professional photo paper and are first generation prints.
Further, please note that the photos in this lot are not offered with any transfer of ownership rights and that none can be used for commercial purposes. |
