This is a vintage 1920s Albert Arthur Allen gelatin silver print of a beautiful nude model posing in a boudoir. 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.
7"W x 10"H.
Condition: Good to very good condition with surface creasing, edge and corner wear. The upper left corner is creased.
