“You are bidding on a guaranteed authentic 4X5 original negative as shown- This negative is from the PM New York City Daily News between 1940 – 1948.”

Images and words, above, copied from ebay.

The seller will even sell you a print (8×10 – 24×36) of the negative, and for $35 send you a CD of the “Photoshopped” image “that you can use for your reproductions.”

And the photographer was?

“Weegee Tries His Hand with the Flickers.” Perhaps a slight variant image was published on February 1947…

“SPRING SIREN
As Spring comes to the California mountains, lovely Goldwyn girl Ruth Vlamy is first to test the swimming pool at rustic Arrowhead Springs. Well, it looks warm enough to us!”
