Jean Agelou, Subtly Risque Image, circa 1910s
Beautiful risque Jean Agelou image!
Jean Agelou is practically notorious for his risque and erotic postcard images of the early 1900s. Of the French photographers in that era who are known for their nude images, Monsieur Agelou is probably the most collected today. He was born in Alexandria Egypt to French parents in 1878 and was active as a photographer in France from at least the early 1900s.
He and his brother George produced "legitimate" work as well, though we've read in a few places that George was not, himself, the photographer, but only handled the business end of their partnership. Still, if this was the case, why do some of the nudes coming out of their studio bear the GA (George Agelou) logo rather than the JA which is most common? If you have the answer, we'd love to hear from you.
Jean Agelou and his brother George were both killed in an automobile accident in 1921.
