The old saying is that a picture’s worth a thousand words, but in the case of pop music legend [B]Madonna[/B] and an old set of Polaroids, that price is a bit different.


They’re $5,303 apiece — but fans of the icon still might call them priceless.


The set of 66 original images is being offered for $350,000 and it comes from [URL="http://www.richardcorman.com/PORTFOLIO/thumbs"][B]Richard Corman[/B][/URL], a portrait photographer who shot Madonna in 1983 — just six weeks before the arrival of her first album and her being thrust into the international spotlight.


“She had charisma like I have never seen,” Corman said in [I]Vogue, [/I]which is noted in a listing for the photos via [URL="https://www.manhattanrarebooks.com/pages/books/1949/madonna-richard-corman/madonna-66-the-complete-set-of-original-polaroids"][B]The Manhattan Rare Book Company[/B][/URL]. “When you look at somebody through the camera, you either see behind somebody’s eyes or you don’t. And with her, it was ‘Wow.'”

The photos were previously found in a book, [B][I]Madonna 66[/I][/B], printed late last year as well as in a series of prints. A set of 25 prints from the collection was £450 ($581.50) via [B]NJG[/B], an independent publishing house in London, while the book was either £60 ($77) or £100 ($129) depending on the edition. Both were signed and numbered by Corman, while a [URL="http://www.madonna66.com/book/madonna-66-signature-edition/"][B]Strictly Limited Edition[/B][/URL] included a bonus print.


If there isn’t a buyer for the $350,000 set of photos before Sept. 5, they’ll be sold separately, according to [URL="https://www.manhattanrarebooks.com/pages/books/1949/madonna-richard-corman/madonna-66-the-complete-set-of-original-polaroids"][B]The Manhattan Rare Book Company, [/B][/URL]which is handling the collection. You can see a sampling of the images in a gallery below and the rest of them in the listing for the collection at the link.
