Wearing what is likely a mink, Carole Lombard displays the sumptuous coat in a sophisticated manner in this studio publicity still for Paramount. In 1936 Lombard appeared in the films Love Before Breakfast and The Princess Comes Across for Paramount. Lombard wore this costume in the comedy The Princess Comes Across, which was designed for her by Travis Banton.

Filmmaker, artist and Hollywood Babylon author Kenneth Anger collected original photography for his various books and projects.
