Queen of Clubs: 1914
1914. "Illustration for McClure's magazine." (Disclaimer: No models were harmed in the making of this picture.) Glass negative by Arnold Genthe. View full size.
"Imaginary Photographs"
Illustrating "Can We Foretell the Future?" in the December 1914 issue of McClure's. "She was found with a Queen of Clubs pinned to her breast by a dagger which had transfixed her heart."
Whooaaa!
We have (for 1914) a major wardrobe malfunction here!
No Models Harmed
but a perfectly good deck of cards has been rendered useless.
If one were looking for an illustration for the dictionary definition of "lurid," I think this might do handsomely.
The Princess Bride
This photo immediately brought to mind the line, "There's a shortage of perfect breasts in this world, it would be a pity to damage yours."
Kramer!!!!!!!!
I would be willing to wager that the model did not use this pic for her holiday card.
