Our second somewhat obscure turn of the last century German photographer is Alfred Fiedler. Herr Fiedler published a book of nude photos in Leipzig in 1902 called Movendo. Like Eickmann's work, what little I've been able to find has left me wishing for more. We start with a model who appears to be pulling a cord or rope with an odd attachment on its end.
Bell Ringer cord?

DeleteLove that shadow. A popular mode of support at that time. I think the loops are to allow a selection of hand positions.
ReplyDeleteMakes sense.
