Vintage Original 8"x 10" B&W Single-Weight Glossy Photographs (12) (8" x 10")
Very Fine+
Warner Bros., 1955

One of the quintessential "teenage angst" films, this group of 12 vintage original photographs depicts cast members James Dean, Natalie Wood, Sal Mineo, and Corey Allen, among others. One photograph depicts the classic image of Dean outside the Griffith Park Observatory as he reaches out in pain after seeing his friend shot by the police. Each photograph is in outstanding condition and there are no markings on the verso.

The title reflects a generation of young people who are struggling to find their direction, with James Dean as their iconic figure. He gained fame the previous year in "East of Eden," where he played a young man seeking purpose and acceptance. In this film, alongside Natalie Wood and Sal Mineo, Dean helped to establish the image of the misunderstood youth, becoming an emblem for teenagers across America.
