Pinup of the Week: Happy Friday the 13th

It’s my lucky day, Friday the 13th, and I’ve chosen a special subject for this week. This is, very certainly, as identified on the back, a photo from the studio of Franz Xaver Setzer (1886-1939), a photographer who worked in Vienna. Setzer had occasion to photograph actors, actresses, composers, and writers, as well as aristocrats, politicians, and prominent businessmen. A Google image search on Setzer brings up some very interesting photos, but nothing quite like this item. The severely plucked eyebrows here make me think it was taken around 1930. Written in pencil on the back, it says “Vogue – Dec 15″. Compare (with some imagination) to this photo of Myrna Loy from the movie Thirteen Women (1932). Is it me, or does the tiara look like it was made from paper?

Any further information on this photo would definitely be welcome. Here is the eBay auction page (already over).

Pinup of the Week: Hello From the Future – 1937

Ah! The past, back when the future looked so much better than it does now. These days, people in the future are locked into stuggles of life and death where innocents find themselves pitted against each other in long, bitter battles involving merciless violence and planned, heartless attrition. Hi beautiful lady from the Future! You sure do look good today. You’ve got your lights on, I see.

Vintage Photo Album: Levitating Body Edition

I love old photos that are all messed up with cracks, spots, foxing, and holes. Sometimes I’ll scan a photo and clean up some of the flaws, and then I’ll think to myself: It doesn’t look as good. I love the duck in this photo, and the magician’s assistant. Auction Here (Ends 2/27)
