Really Cute! PC Paris produced countless risque lingerie images. We love the white backgrounds on this type, filled with frothy light. These are highly prized by fashion historians who glean from them information on the styles of undergarments of the time. Interestingly, these gals seemed almost always to be wearing shoes :) No effort was expended, on the part of the photographer to set up a "getting ready for bed," or "undressing for the bath" scenario. These routines, popular theatrical pantomimes at the turn of the century, had, by the 20s, already become old hat, so that nude and risque images tended to use fewer physical props. The images, therefore were maybe more minimalist, but as in this case, the photography was marvelous.
