'Breakfast at Tiffany's'. An original b/w silver gelatin promotional photograph of British actress Audrey Hepburn (1929–1993) in her role as Holly Golightly in the motion picture 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' from 1961. Back stamped 'Paramount' and with stamped receiving date (October 2, 1961). Oak wood frame with double glazing. Visible size 18.5×24 cm. Frame size 29×35 cm.

'Breakfast at Tiffany's' premiered in the United States on October 5, 1961 and was an instant hit with audiences and critics alike, and Audrey Hepburn's portrayal of jewelry-loving Holly Golightly is now considered one of the best performances of her career. The film's rather odd title - breakfast has never been served at the luxury jewelry store 'Tiffany's' - is due to the fact that the main character Holly Golightly (Hepburn) in the opening scene is seen daydreaming in front of the store's windows as she eats her breakfast!

Condition

This is an original b/w silver gelatin promotional photograph from 1961. Corners with pinholes; these being slightly discoloured (back). Back furthermore with pressure marks. Also general signs of handling.
