One of the better-known and most beloved pornographic photoshoots from the Victorian era - two beautiful boys in stockings, flouncy petticoats, a wonderfully ill-fitting black corset, and wearing flowers in their hair. (For further shots, see here)
I know, I have posted this marvelous photograph before, but this copy is larger and fractionally less cropped, and I only need an excuse as thin as that white frilly petticoat to reblog anything from this photo set again!
Utterly charming but with a hint of the bizarre, one model wearing an extraordinary translucent and faintly striped dress which reveals as much as it hides.
No.1428 in Wilhelm von Gloeden’s catalogue of beautiful pictures.
This remains one of my favourite vintage photos of all time, there’s nothing I don’t find completely beautiful and fascinating about this shot and those lovely, lovely models.
No better or more lovely way to start posting this new collection than with the very photograph which first got me interested in finding these. I adore this picture, this and all the others I’ve found of the same two beautiful boys can be found here
