Cars + Women + Paris = Auto-Erotica 1920s

 

Cars + Women + Paris = Auto-Erotica 1920s

Car culture as defined today owes everything to what was originally created at the turn-of-the-century and then after WWII with the birth of the American hot rodding spirit. However when it came to straight out seductive poses of women and cars, the Parisian photographers of the 1920s created the genre.

Here are a selection of what has been referred to by one publisher as "Wheels & Curves". It is no less than "beauty & the machine" and most certainly "auto-erotica" in the finest sense of the double-entendre!

All the photographs in this post are standard size (3.5" x 5.5") real photo post cards (rppc). The sepia toned photographs are unattributed and may possibly be the work of the Albert Wyndham Studio or one of the larger Paris studios: PC Paris or A.Noyer. All the black & white toned photographs are either marked with the mysterious "question mark in a triangle logo" (established as another mark used by the Ostra/Biederer Studio) or unmarked. Either way they are all the work of the two brothers operating the Ostra/Biederer Studios.

The requirements needed to qualify for the genre: a charming woman posed on, near or under an automobile with her skirt raised, giving the viewer a glimpse of her lingerie: panties, garter belt, stockings and high heels required!  The "automobile breakdown" gambit is a natural as we get a variety of views of the roadside mechanic at work, skirts conveniently raised.

I have been a car crazy, hot rod enthusiast since I was a kid and I have owned thousands of car culture magazines over the years, one of my first collections. In all the years of viewing models posed with hot rods and automobiles, nothing has came close to the marvelous, subtle eroticism presented in these 100 year old photographs.

There were also posers with no need to to get there hands dirty who nonetheless found the hoods and bumpers of their Citroens 

and Vivastellas irresistible...

...reading on the running board and relaxing behind the wheel 

and in the back seat...

Lunch time, coffee, tea? ...and dressing or undressing?

Over The Knee! 1950s Spanking Toupee & Glasses OTK

I love this series of amateur style photographs, early 1950s, featuring the lovely submissive with her dressed pulled up and her panties pulled down. She's showing off her legs and wonderful ass while being spanked by an atypical spanker in toupee and  glasses. He appears in some photos in jacket and tie or bow tie; others in t-shirt or no-shirt, wielding his open palm or hair brush. They all have a sense of reality, movement ... can you hear the smack!! Another selection from deep in the Vasta Archives.

PETIT CHOC! Parisian Flappers Flashing 1930s Legs Lingerie

Petit Choc! was a short lived periodical, beautifully printed in toned gravure on lightly texture art paper, circa 1930~1932. It was filled with marvelously seductive photographs of Parisian flappers raising their skirts showing off lots of leg, lingerie, garter belts and silk stockings. The brainchild of Albert Wyndham (uncredited) well known amongst collectors for his real photo postcards of similar content. Published in Paris by his Le Deux Tourelles company. I have seen five or six issues. Here is a selection from issues one, two and four. Increasingly rare! Click for Petit Choc! in my eBay store.
