This is a rare grouping of the images famed photographer Peter Basch took of Bettie Page in the 1950s. During his years researching and helping create a resurgence of interest in the iconic model in the 1980s, Eric Kroll sought Basch out at his home and created these contact proof images which he bound and circulated as one offs. A beautiful set of images and an intriguing piece of Bettie Page history. HID12401132022 © 2025 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved www.HA.com/TexasAuctioneerLicenseNotice
