My particular friend B send me this amusing
photograph of two ladies and a young (he looks younger than the usual sturdy
middle aged men you tend to get in these sorts of pictures) gentleman in a
nicely composed pile. This is probably from a French erotic postcard,
although latterly it has been used as the cover of a book on German erotica.
Dating these pictures is always problematic and without a very good
knowledge of nineteenth century continental millinery it is quite tricky.
The shorter stockings, lingerie, hair styles and
less crisp photography would tend to suggest the 1880s or 1890s. I like
the fact that the two ladies are smiling in this one. One girl happily
frigs the man and herself while the other appears to demonstrate pinpoint
accuracy in giving him a salty drink. Of course cameras at the time
couldn't capture a lady in mid flow like this, so a little post photographic
manipulation would have been needed!
