  1. This is a beautiful photo. The model has a magnificent physique, the composition is excellent and to top it all off there's that wonderful peekaboo.

    1. Everything shows up beautifully. Even the peekaboo is true peekaboo, not in your face.

  4. The superbly captured energy of that photograph is as fresh as it was the day it was taken, 122 years ago.
