This is a vintage trimmed 1920s Albert Arthur Allen gelatin silver print of a beautiful nude model posing in his studio. This single photo has probably been trimmed from a print with three figure studies of the same model. An obscure figure who operated outside the margins of the fine art community, Allen was known to a small coterie of clients who bought boudoir studies and pictures of comely young voluptuaries. A homespun aesthetician who had a marked propensity for self-invention, Allen produced photographic portfolios that were initially inspired by the naturist movement.
