PIN-UP'S & EROTICA

-69-

 

This deck was published  in England by A & R Coffer Ltd from London in the 1950's as "Queens of Art". It was probably printed in the UK too. It's from the era, in which nudity had to be presented as an artistic form of photography. Unusual, or should we say artistic, is the use of blue for the black suits. 

 

The picture on the Ace of Clubs caught our eye. We had seen this before, but in b/w. Our memory turned out to be almost accurate. We invite you to go and see the 9 of Hearts in the "What the Butler Saw" deck, which is on page 54 of this xpo. You'll see that it's definitely the same model on the same staircase, but the pose and perspective are slightly different.
