OSTRA Derrieres Lingerie Fetish Paris 1920s~'30s

"C" is for chatte! The Ostra Studio in Paris was the culmination of immigrant brothers from Hungary joining forces to create the largest body of work devoted to "fetish tableaux" in the '20s and '30s. Their particular interest in derrieres, fetish clothing, bondage and s/m fantasies has left a significant and in many ways, unsurpassed legacy, whose influence can be seen today in the worlds of photography and fashion. Store listing include postcard and medium format photographs as well as stereographic images. Click here for all the Ostra Studio items in my eBay store.
