Marilyn Monroe 1948 V Magazine No 175 Rare Early Norma Jeane Cover French High Grade Tabloid 16 pages Up for auction/sale is an incredibly rare, historic piece of Hollywood history: the February 8, 1948 issue of the French publication V Magazine (Issue No. 175), featuring a beautiful, early-career cover photo of a young Marilyn Monroe (still modeling as Norma Jeane). Published just as she was transitioning from her modeling roots to her early Hollywood studio contracts, this iconic cover captures her wearing a distinctive sailor hat.

CONDITION DETAILS: This particular copy is in exceptional, high-grade condition, far superior to the heavily worn or damaged examples that occasionally surface. It has been meticulously preserved. Cover & Pages: Very clean and flat. The cover colors remain bright and vibrant. There is some hand writing on the front cover top of page (2nd photo). No Rips or Tears: The front cover, back cover, and internal pages are intact with no major tears, missing pieces, or structural damage. Spine & Binding: The spine is firm and healthy with minimal wear. The original vintage staple is holding. Paper Quality: No heavy moisture damage or severe staining. Light, natural age-toning appropriate for 1940s newsprint. SHIPPING & HANDLING: We understand the immense value of vintage paper ephemera and take packing seriously. T
