Rare Monroe photo for sale

A rare photo of Marilyn Monroe at her school graduation is to go on sale.

Amid a sea of fresh faces, the then 15-year-old can be seen in the panoramic shot of the whole class year at Ralph Waldo Emerson Junior High School in Los Angeles.

Monroe was then known as Norma Jeane Baker in the summer of 1941, but within a few years would become a model, actress, and global sex symbol.

The 8’ x 24’ photograph is expected to sell for up to £1,500 (€1,850) when it goes under the hammer at the auction in Stockport, Cheshire, next week.
