While cleaning up I came upon a paper bag full of postcards. They are all black and white photos from the Black and White Gallery of Monmouth Street in London. Maybe I picked them up when I lived in London decades ago. Whatever the case I thought I would send them winging around the world as I no doubt intended before the ubiquity of email.

First in best dressed, say which one you want in this thread and email me an address and it shall be yours.

Here are the choices:

Maureen O'Sullivan by Laszlo Willinger (1937)
Embrace by David Todd - tatooed male and female embracing obviously
Robert Mitchum by Bob Willoughby (Cape Fear??)
Peter Lorre by Ernest A Bachrach (1940)
Meto_Nude by John Chan - Hockney like montage of a nude dude
China Girl by Charles Roff - a girl who looks chinese
Sleeping Beauty by Juliette Van Otteren - 2 naked women attractively posed
The Artist's Model by Franz Fiedler (1930) - artist with nude model
Spatz (1932) - under the table at a diner(??)
Midsummer Night Dream by EB Hesser - knaked women of course
Ramon Navarro by George Hurrell (1929)
Jean Harlow by Hurrell (1933)
Vivien Leigh by Vivienne (1942)
Ripped Rock by Paul Caffell - the naked rear is more striking than the rock
Tammy, 15 by Ron Oliver - young ballerina
It's A dog's Life by Charles Roff - a dog and the backside of a pair of jeans...whoever gets it will know what I mean
Lady of The Tropics by Milton Brown (1939) - looks like a movie still
Quiet Surf by Barry McKinley - crowded beach
Sunday Morning by Stephane Graff - partly clad woman reads the paper
Ann Sheridan by Scotty Welbourne (1940)
Formanterra by Charles Roff - fancy name for naked woman
Vivien Leigh by Laslo Willinger (1940)
Loretta Young by Lansing Brown (1929)
Take Me (Riding) by Jane Hilton - young couple in backseat of a car
untitled by Rudolph Koppitz (1927) - a nude of course

As I said add a post claiming your choice - so that no one else will ask for it and then email me an address to send it to. If the thread dies without them all being claimed you may receive extras.

Jean Harlow by Hurrell (1933)
I'd like to dibs the Navarro, and if by the end no one claims the Harlow I'd like that one too.

Ann Sheridan would go down well, but anything else if that has gone :)

553 sorry, that domain isn't allowed to be relayed thru this MTA (#5.7.1)
Huh? Anyone know what this means?

(Sorry to clutter the thread, but I've no idea what this problem is, and I'd hate to think other people had it but didn't ask)

I emailed your Hotmail from mine GorillaMan. Perhaps a reply will work. Seems like a problem at your end???

I'd like the Maureen O'Sullivan, please. If I'm victimized by a simulpost, my second choice is Take Me (Riding) by Jane Hilton.

Thanks for making this generous offer!

Just thought I'd reopen this thread to say I received my requests yesterday, plus a bit of a bonus. Thanks again for making this offer, don't ask!

Are there any more left?

You can just send me any random one. Also, I have recently sent a whole mess of postcards out, since I acquired some from John's Hopkins. They were all illustrations done by Max Brodel, who was their resident medical illustrator, and is considered my many to be the father of modern medical illustration.

If you want, I could send you one of the two left. One pokes fun at former JH faculty member, William H. Welch, and the other is an illustration of the face of a proboscis monkey.

Wow!
Totally different from what I'd imagined (Sunday Morning), but even more beautiful. And thanks for the bonus (The Embrace) - stunning!
I was so surprised to see a letter from Australia in my mailbox. I work with two Aussies, and we spent the day googling your address. It must be beautiful there - thank you again for you amazingly generous offer!

Sorry to those coming in late - all have been sent last week.

Thanks for the thanks it's nice to see they have gone to good homes and aren't wasting their lives in a drawer.

A late bump to say thanks for the Harlow and the Valentino. I haven't been to my PO Box for a few weeks so I sorta forgot about these. The Valentino follows by a few hours watching several Valentino flicks on Turner Classic Movies last night, including two that were previously thought to be lost.

I never did answer but I did indeed get mine some time ago and absolutely love them. They hang over my sewing machine, along with my Discworld map. Thanks!
