We have been collecting prints for several years. These represent the glamour and style of the early years of the 20th Century.
This is a classic photo of Clara Bow, an American actress of the 1920's and known as "The It Girl".
The beginning of the 19th Century to the mid-1930’s was a golden age of photography and film in both the U.S and around the world. Many of the items in this section are the early work of photographers here and abroad, that were experimenting with the lighting, contrast and angles concerning the human form.
Others works here are considered “Pre-Code Hollywood”, which refers to the era in the American films between the introduction of sound in the late 1920’s and the enforcement of the Motion Picture Production Code [known as the Hays Act] censorship guidelines. The Code was adopted in 1930 but didn’t actually start to be enforced until mid-1934. Up until that time there was little or no regulation concerning nudity or eroticism in film.
The copies that you are buying have been painstakingly retouched and restored to as close to original as possible.
