Description from the seller
A striking original black-and-white press photograph of Brigitte Bardot, laughing candidly, wearing a knitted cardigan over a lace-trimmed corset/bustier, photographed in what appears to be a backstage or dressing-room setting with garments hanging behind her — a relaxed, off-duty portrait rather than a posed studio shot.
Verso details:
Press Association agency stamp/label, Fleet Street, London, with the standard press-use restriction text ("...print must not be [reproduced]...without our consent").
A printed slip labelled "BRIGITTE BARDOT", used to identify the image in the agency's filing system.
A newspaper clipping headed "The legend speaks for itself: Brigitte Bardot — My Own Story (C4, 10pm, New Year's Day)" — referencing the Channel 4 documentary, indicating the photo was pulled from archive and reused for this broadcast.
Archive date stamps: 18 Apr 1968, 28 Nov 1978, and 5 Dec 1985 — showing the print circulated through the picture desk across three decades.
Handwritten annotations and reference numbers from picture editors.
