There are a couple of ‘nudes’, but no naughty bits are showing. They’re vintage, so they’re ‘art’ anyway.
#12 is a photo of a situation depicted on a plate my mom’s mother had. On the plate, a stereotypical Black boy is urinating through a knothole in a fence, and a chicken is racing up on the other side to get the ‘worm’. Had I not seen that plate when I was little, I wouldn’t have immediately ‘gotten’ what was happening in the photo.
Also, I think #12 is a cautionary depiction of why you should never stick your pecker in a glory hole without knowing what’s on the other side. It could also be the origin of the word “pecker”.
It’s good to know the world was not only fucked up in a weird way before I got here, but also way before the internet made it obvious.
Those are some strange pictures. #2 stands out to me. What on earth…
No. 21 is** Anna Held**–I wrote a book about her!
Dial-up sucks.
That’s one of two or three photos that is perfectly normal.
And the nekkid lady with all the heads is from a book of Weimar-era German porn, which, yes, I have.
Re: #2: wasn’t it the custom in Italy to display bloody bedsheets after a wedding night to show that virginity had been broken? I suppose a mattress would qualify…
#18: People liked porn with skeletons?
#19: “The gasmask look tops the runways for the spring 1940 season…”
#24: Most. Unfortunate. Siamese Twin. Ever.
#31: A pig fetus. Or Cthulhu. I’m not certain.
#32: Dave knew he was in trouble when his time machine malfunctioned in 1896. Fortunately, has skills as a steampunk reënactor enabled him to blend his time suit right in.
#39: One day, the watermelon bit back.
#44. It was fortunate that the Waldenheimertal Brass Band was on hand when the new electric locomotive’s horn failed.
Armadillo, I think.
Well then, you’d be the person to ask…I used to live in the Edgewater Beach apartments in Chicago, and there is a florist there named after her. I heard it was because she once lived in that building (or in the attached hotel that was torn down, maybe), and I’ve always wondered if that was true?
Well, that is a big collection of WTF…
Anna Held never lived in Chicago–she had homes in Paris and New York–but she certainly stayed in Chicago hotels while touring. But she is the sort of glamorous person a florist (do you mean a person or a shop?) might have been named after.
Looks like that dude’s about to get some head.
(Stolen and paraphrased from the comment section because it made me lol).
The guy with the shotgun in #20 looks a great deal like my father.
Do the two little girls look like your late sisters?
#23 is kind of cute–soldier with a cat on his head.
#19: Are you my mummy?
wow. :eek: Stephen King could write a book based on…well, pretty much any of those photos…
#7 There’s obviously something very unusual with the left cyclist, he doesn’t have a mustache.
#8 That would be the penguin uprising of '27.
#23 No wonder they lost the war…
#35 is a very precocious Tea Partier.
I love that collection! But my favorite is #38 because it looks like a real life posing for a Kliban drawing.
