PROPERTY FROM THE ARCHIVES OF MILTON H. GREENE The Archives is an international corporation dedicated to presenting the timeless works of Milton H. Greene. The Archives was created in 1997 by Greene's son, Joshua, as a way of honoring his father's vast body of work, which until now had been largely unavailable since his father's death in 1985. The Archives is dedicated to the preservation and restoration of Milton Greene's work with images consisting of fashion, beauty and personalities. Greene's photography generated interest and fame in the midst of many worlds that were connected through the lens of his camera and traced the passage of an era through the worlds of Hollywood and Fashion. As the earliest examples of what remains from Greene's personal collection, the prints in the following four lots are considered rare.

MILTON H. GREENE (1922-1985)

Nelly Nyad was Greene's favorite subject in the early 1950s. They spent the summer of 1952 in Europe photographing fashions for Life in Madrid, Mallorca, Rome and Paris. This lasting image was created that fall when they returned to New York.

This photograph is one of only two prints of this image in this size in The Archives collection.
