French Frills: Fotos circa 1920s ~ 1930s


French Frills: Fotos circa 1920s ~ 1930s

A selection from the depths of the digital archives. A "best of" medium (5" x 7") and large format (7" x 9"), circa 1920s and 1930s, legs and lingerie images by notable Parisian photographers. All photographs silver emulsion prints. Photograph above, unknown.


The "C" maker's marque is the Ostra/Biederer Studio. This photograph, used for the cover for an American edition of Anais Nin's erotic prose, has become iconic as a representation of the period.
