Yesterday, I posted a bit about some vintage Louise Brooks postcards for sale on eBay. Among those for sale, here is another of my favorites. As Brooks is not wearing her customary bob, its a little bit unusual. Nevertheless, she photographs quite lovely. Don't you think?
The vintage Russian postcard I also mentioned yesterday has also shown up again. Here is a link to its eBay listing. The seller's page says this card dates from 1928.
Louise was one of those 'one in a million' type subjects for a photograph or a movie camera...its no accident we are still enchanted and enthralled by her over 80 years after most of these pictures were taken.
ReplyDeleteI can't remember if you've posted this picture of her or not:

Also, here's an interesting sketch of Lulu and Schigolch by Dave McKean:
