"Bizarre Nudes"


Larry and I both had this one in our collections, but my version had no information.
Larry was, as is typical with him, able to find out that it was a French 
postcard from 1900 in a series labeled "Bizarre Nudes."

  1. This guy always looks familiar. But that was a popular look in France at that time. Inspiring.

    1. Yes, if we didn't already know, it would be easy to guess he's French.

  2. Isn't he the guy that was also a policeman? I've seen his photos and his name before, but I can't remember where or when.
