Five Mid-Century Fetish Photographs. Mid-20th Century. Five silver gelatin photographs, mid-20th century. A group of staged studio photographs depicting a female subject posed in various restrained positions. The subject is bound at the arms and ankles and wears a tight black leather hood or mask with stitched seams and multiple buckled straps, obscuring the face. The group includes both full-length views and close-up studies, including one detailed image of the mask. The imagery is consistent with mid-century fetish photography traditions, and is reminiscent of work associated with John Willie and related underground publications. Each 5 x 7".
Condition
Light wear overall, including minor edge wear, soft corner bumps, and scattered surface marks. Overall very good.
