Nellys
Elli Soguoultzoglou-Seraidari, aka Nellys, made this photo as a student in Dresden in 1922.
One thing seems curious to me about this photo. The model seems to not have the same two buttocks. I know that tense or relaxed muscles are different, but in this photo it is obvious!
Another thing: if you look for the tan lines, they're high on the buttocks, almost as a thong. I think that brief cut was a popular fashion in the 20's.
I hadn't noticed the tan lines, and you are correct about the swimwear fashion in Germany at that time. I have photos of swim teams wearing such garments.

ReplyDeleteI noticed that, too, and I think it is the way he is posed that makes it look that way.

DeleteI wondered if it was just me seeing the tan line up high. Interesting photo with the tan line and mismatched buttocks. Nice model and pose.
