PORTRAIT OF A PRETTY YOUNG WOMAN IN ZAGREB, CROATIA

The photograph is a bit unusual in that the cabinet card provides a close-up view horizontally rather than the typical vertical perspective. The photographer of this image is A. Brauner, who operated a studio in Zagreb, Croatia. In terms of present day geography, Zagreb is the capital and the largest city in Croatia. (SOLD)

FANTASTIC 1940’S AUTOMOBILE ON A PYRENEES MOUNTAIN ROAD (NOTE THE ALIEN TREES DANCING IN THE BACKGROUND)
This vintage photograph offers a look at automobile travel in the 1940’s. The photo features a beautiful car with the driver and a passenger peering out through the open windows. The automobile is incredibly long. I wouldn’t want to parallel park this massive sedan. Take special note of the trees behind the car. The trees look like monsters, or space aliens, with arms and legs awkwardly posed. The trees appear to be dancing. Printed on the reverse of the photo are some words that may offer a clue as to where and when this photo was taken. The photograph appears to have been shot in Roncevaux, a mountain pass in the Pyrenees on the border between France and Spain. The photograph was taken in 1947. This vintage photo measures about 4 1/2″ x 3 1/2″. (SOLD)

PRETTY YOUNG WOMAN AND HER HAT DECORATED WITH A DECEASED BIRD
A pretty and well dressed woman is the subject of this vintage photograph taken by an unidentified photo. Note her hat and the attached bird. There was a time when whole birds were considered desirable decorations on lady hats. This was to the detriment of many bird species that were nearly wiped out by hunters looking to make a quick buck from the millinery industry. The woman’s hat is also decorated by a hairpin. This photograph has excellent clarity and is in excellent condition. It is not a postcard. The photograph has a hard card stock backing and measures about 3 7/8″ x 5 3/8″.

RISQUE PORTRAIT OF A PRETTY WOMAN PARTIALLY DRESSED
This vintage photograph features a pretty young woman in a risque pose and wearing risque clothing. She is wearing a hat, gloves, and is holding a purse. She seems to be going somewhere but she forgot to finish getting dressed. The previous owner of this photograph thought the photographer of the image may have been the Biederer studio. I have no supporting evidence confirming his hypotheses. The Biederer brothers were major figures in photography so their story is worth telling. The studio was operated by Jacpues Biederer (1887-1942) and his brother Charles Biederer (1892-1942) during the Art deco era. Their studio was in Paris, France. Their photographs of the 1920’s and 1930’s included artistic nudes and sexual fetish studies. Their topics included erotic corporal punishment, costumed role play and images of bondage. Their postcards were signed as “JB” “B” ,”Ostra”, or a question mark in a triangle. When Germany occupied France during World War ll, the Nazis sent the brothers to a concentration camp (Auschwitz-Birkenau). Their crime was their Judaism. Their punishment was death. This vintage photo measures about 3 3/8″ x 5 3/8″ and is in very good condition.

PORTRAIT OF A DECORATED EUROPEAN SOLDIER, ARMED WITH A SWORD, AND STANDING IN A GARDEN
I wish I knew more about this soldier. This vintage snap shot features a European military man. My first guess is that he is a member of the French or Belgian army. I am hypothesizing that he is an officer. The evidence of his higher rank is the sword that he is carrying. The gentleman is wearing three medals. The number 1554 appears on his hat and on his collar. Is that the number of his regiment? The soldier appears to be standing in a manicured garden. This vintage photo measures about 3 1/2″ x 4 5/8″ and is in very good condition (see scans).
