Greta Garbo Collection (1924-1941) Inventory
Portraits and film stills of Greta Garbo, including many original photographs from a scrapbook compiled and donated by Estelle Patterson Fox, together with the scrapbook pages. The scrapbook includes newspaper and magazine articles on the life and career of Garbo, together with magazine and newsprint photos, and a number of coloured covers of Garbo from the film magazines of the 1920’s and 1930’s. While many of the sources and dates are not noted, and articles are not always arranged in chronological order, the scrapbook is a wealth of material from the fan magazines of the period.
