Lot 417
Collection of 60 Antique and Vintage Nudes with 40 Pieces Pre-1920s with 22 in Hand-Tinted Colors. Italian and French + 20 US 8 x 10 1940s. An impressive collection of antique and vintage nudes. The best in the collection are from Italy and France, all 5. 5 x 3.5" and beautifully posed, pre-1920s with no duplicates. Of those, 22 are superb, hand-tinted photos virtually all in classic poses. The black and white are all nitrate prints with deep blacks and greys, mostly studio and a bit more explicit. These are in excellent condition with zero having been addressed or mailed.
The 8 x 10" collection are all out of doors and appear to be from the very late 1930s early 1940s and shot on a Western set. Photos are a combination of single weight and double weight prints, no repeats. The models seem to be from a pool of burlesque performers or possibly roller derby. Again in excellent condition.
Email for additional photos.
Also there is a Kodak Album for protecting individual slides and it appears there are about 80 B&W single frame negatives in 35mm of nudes with notes in the index such as "Maria at the Beach" or "Maria Holding Knee". All appear in excellent condition. Estimated Value $600 - 900
From the Collection of Mark Rofeh.
