This is a vintage 1920s Albert Arthur Allen gelatin silver print of a beautiful nude model posing in three poses in his studio. 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. Verso is ink stamped "Plate No. 17" with publication notations.
8"W x 7"H.
