John Willie produced a single set of 12 photographs of the model he called Alice shot in 1960. Changes in room arrangement/furniture sometimes help to date Willie photographs. In the first two photographs below, to the left of the model there is a small table with a lamp and behind that is a white drop-leaf table. Compare the same corner of the room shown in the earlier photo of June shot in 1958.
Irving Klaw produced a series of photographs called the Female Impersonators. The photo numbers were preceded with FI. These photographs have a prominent place in the early 1950s catalogs produced by Klaw but I almost never come across them for sale online. Below are 3; their numbers give an idea of just how many individual posed photographs were available in this series.
These photos are part of a circa 1950 strip set where there is a lit candle in most of the images. The engaging poses and imaginative photography are unusual for this kind of photo series.
People who purchased nude, pinup and fetish photographs sometimes just dumped the pictures in a shoe or cigar box. Others organized photos in albums. This postcard was mounted on a piece of black cardboard and bands from cigars have been pasted to provide a title and a little more with the reference as to price. The postcard is from circa 1920.
Over the years a number of photographs, nude and non-nude, have remained favorites. Here are a few. The prints are all 4×5 inches and they seem to come from strip series of photographs.
