Original Edith Head 1940s Sketch Dorothy Lamour Paramount
Located in Palm Springs, CA

The sketch for Lamour’s dress may have been done for the black and white period movie Dixie starring Bing Crosby and Dorothy Lamour. Unframed and in its original unaltered state.
To see other examples online by Edith Head see “Silver-Screen-Mode / Edith Head costume...

Ethel Magafan "Evening Moon" Pen and Ink Drawing
By Ethel Magafan

Ethel Magafan (1916-1993) pen and ink sketch drawing entitled "Evening Mood". Signed lower right. Circa 1950. This piece comes from the Estate of Anton Otto Fischer after Magafan moved to Woodstock, NY where his home and studio were.
Good overall condition. Wear consistent with age and not being framed. There is obvious darkening of the paper surface due to the piece originally having an old matte surrounding the sight opening. No visible rips, tears or restorations. Soft corners and edges.
Approximately 8" wide x 6" high.
