Sally Beauman - Vintage Photograph

MILLION DOLLAR SUCCESS STORY Credited with writing "...some of the raunchiest sex scenes since Fanny Hill.." former Cambridge graduate journalist and writer SALLY BEAUMAN whose steamy 767-page blockbusting novel "Destiny" was recently snapped up by publishers Bantam for over 1 million dollars, and will be published on April 2nd. With all the hallmarks of a guaranteed best-seller, "Destiny" spans 35 years and four continents and the heroes are a poverty-stricken 16 year old and a fabulously-wealthy French aristocrat. Elegant Sally whose previous novels include romantic stories under the name Vanessa James, graduated in English literature from Cambridge University before becoming editor of Queen Magazine at the age of 24. She has also worked as a journalist and wrote a history of the Royal Shakespeare Company and a biography of the legendary Ellen Terry. Now, Sally is destined for the big time and looks set to join the best-selling ranks of Sydney Sheldon Harold Robbins and Barbara Taylor Bradford. Photo shows: Sally Beauman with her book "Destiny" to be published by Bantam.

THIS IS THE ONLY AND LAST ITEM IN STOCK

All our press photos are LIMITED ARCHIVE ORIGINALS - they are the actual prints that were used by the newspapers, they are not reprints or digital prints produced by us. All the prints are at least 30 years old and up to 100 years old.

OWN A PIECE OF HISTORY

What you will buy from us has a true historical value and authenticity. These items are true artifacts and collectibles, a real unique piece of history. All these old photos have a story to tell and come from reliable sources. We get our prints directly from the press archives where they have been stored for up to a hundred years. These prints have never been accessible to the public before.

EACH PRINT IS UNIQUE AND HISTORIC

SEE the BACKSIDE OF the PHOTO - many times the image for sale will present stamps, dates, and other publication details - these marks attest to and increase the value of the press photos. Since the photos are old press photographs they may have scratches, lines, or other wears of time, which just underlines the authenticity and age of the photos. In the past, the photos were often parts of a series or were mass-produced by the archives. Nowadays, their number is decimated - many were destroyed by time, use, or natural disasters. Few were preserved and are nowadays carefully stored in our archives.

INVEST AND COLLECT

Press photos have been available to the public for just a few years, and similar to baseball cards, they have attracted investors and collectors. The value of original Press Photos prints has been steadily increasing in value and is expected to to continue doing so.
