I know you have all been waiting for this...................

Oh yes ! What a wonderful troupe,
Which one is proudest of his group?
The second to left
Seems excited, and blessed
Compared to his peers, and so cute...

The Original Betty Boop, Esther Jones aka Baby Esther. She was an African American singer and entertainer of the late 1920s. She performed regularly at the The Cotton Club in Harlem. Helen Kane saw her act in 1928 and
appropriated Jones' 'baby' singing style for a recording of"I Wanna Be Loved By You." Jones' style went on to become the inspiration for the voice of Betty Boop.

Continuing the theme: Barbara Stanwyck as a Ziegfeld girl in 1924, when she still was just Ruby Stevens.

Seen Barbara in latter life not as a young woman, so beautiful..

Thanks for these historical tidbits, @cascadiabound and all other contributors. Interesting stuff, and it shows Lit can be educational in many ways.

Possibly only retro, rather than full vintage, but good nevertheless.

Earl Grey Tea

Tea before sex or sex before tea
I hope you like it, Sir: If Sex is quite free,
Tea is expensive; and such must be the way:
For no one can fuck with my dear Lord, Earl Grey...

Glimpse of Stocking

In olden days a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on as something shocking
Now heaven knows, anything goes

Is the man the same one as here and here?

Looking more through that series (posted elsewhere), the woman seems the same. This one shows her face best, although it’s a bit blurry.

I’d bet these are from the same studio/photographer. Any opinion, @Tio_Narratore ?

Jacques and his brother Charles were Czech, but moved to Paris where they had a photographic studio specializing in erotic and taboo photography. Here's a link to the Wiki article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studio_Biederer

It's Jacques in the photos; I presume his brother was the photographer.
