Vintage publicity photograph from the 1942 film, showing child actors Elizabeth Taylor and Carl Switzer. Annotations in manuscript pencil on the verso. Taylor's first film, and one of her only films with Universal Pictures. The then ten-year-old actress was offered a contract by Universal in 1941, but the contract was terminated after a year, attributed to her unusually adult-looking face and the directness of her stare. Taylor would later move to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, where she was cast in her first starring role, in "National Velvet" (1944), kick-starting her rise to fame in Hollywood. From the archive of noted Hollywood still photographer Ray Jones. Born in Wisconsin on January 1, 1901, Jones worked for Paramount Pictures in the early 1930s, and went on to be the head of the still photography department at Universal Pictures in 1935, where he worked well into the 1950s. 10 x 8 inches.
