Pin-Up & Erotica

 


THE FEMALE FORM 2023 Calendar
Recommended. This is fine art: black and white photography of dancers in motion, of the amazing things a nude body can do, and bodies in repose. Reminds us of Ruth Eastman’s pioneering work in capturing the beautiful of the naked female form with no outright pursuit of eroticism but of course it is still always there. Like Erotic Photography 2023, there is no full nudity (no nipples or genitalia) but plenty of full nudes and fully body poses. Tasteful. Gifted, 2022. Out of print. Mature Viewers....More.

Brown & Bigelow is perhaps the most famous name in pin-up calendars, and they were still taking orders for advertising work at this point, so we picked a fun Earl Moran image and added our name and information and logo...just like businesses did it back in the day. Metal top & bottom clamps, art deco border. Brown & Bigelow, 1996. Out of Print. Condition: Some prints have small tears and or creases. Best copies will be shipped first....More.
