These rare MGM distributors brochures are amongst the most beautiful I have ever seen. Printed on heavy art stock, the public never saw these. They open to a 2 page gate way illustration that in all 3 brochures is a loosely painted water color study that is exquisite for its style . I bought these many years ago, and have never seen anything like them since. The art is more provocative and sensual than usual.
