Additional Description

Physical Description

All photographs are black and white; the majority of prints are not mounted. Some of the photographs of women in the woods feature model Phyllis Cook and were taken to market Lanvin's Arpege and Sleeping by Schiaparelli; some of these images as well as details surrounding the photo shoots were published in Moore's book "My Time at Tiffany's". Also in this folder is a somewhat surreal photograph of a woman's hand, and other staged scenes which may have been used in window displays.
