Incredibly special and rare issue of the French edition of Vogue.
Cover -
Model Dovima, wearing a silk haute couture Dior red dress, poses in front of a Claude Monet painting. Photographed by Henry Clarke.
There is a famous photograph of Audrey Hepburn with this cover model, reading this very issue of Vogue, during the production of the film Funny Face. Dovima had a role in the film alongside Audrey. Dovima played the fashion model Marion in the 1957 movie. I've attached a copy of the photo for reference - please note Audrey is not inside this issue. Cult historically important and culturally referenced Vogue.
