July 1946 Edition of VOGUE magazine featuring the first published photo shoot of Greta Garbo by Cecil Beaton. 
One day in spring 1946, Greta Garbo asked Cecil Beaton if he could make her passport photograph. Beaton agreed and in the end the shot a full session. With her permission, he sent the pictures to Alexander Liberman, the art director at Vogue. Liberman “could hardly believe his eyes,” Beaton recalled.
“Here was a precious windfall of a dozen different pictures of someone who for ten years had resolutely refused to be photographed.”
