Vintage Literotica ~ for friends and admirers

Mom ran across 4 postcards after her last parent died and now I have them.

She told me "these were my grandpa's dirty pictures", and giggled. (I believe he passed in 1926 or 1927 as I have grandma's bedroom suite purchased for $124.99 in 1927 with her inheritance so I don't doubt the age of the cards.) I think it's funny the postcards were handed down thru 3 generations of daughters and not the sons.

The back states:
This card is a REAL PHOTOGRAPH.
on Bromide paper.
The Rotograph Co. N.Y. City
Printed in England.
It also indicates for the stamp, one cent Domestic, two cents Foreign

Cool, huh?

My grandad was a professional photographer, had a studio built attached to his house in Lancashire UK.
He did all his own developing and printing, early ones were in sepia, his wife used to add water colour to some if the subject could afford the additional costs.

He did quite a lot, discreet erotica and tasteful nudes and I saw a number when we visited him as a teenager. Unfortunately when he died, his step children sold all his equipment and destroyed anything that they decided wasn’t worth any money. My Dad and his brothers were livid that they didn’t get the chance to even look and see if there was anything they wanted.

That is terrible. There are so many instances of that happening. J's mom actually did that with his dad's things and he was caught unaware until a few weeks after and it was too late.. What can people be thinking?
 
I'm not exactly sure what you all consider vintage.

Sights, smells, texture of the pages...

Interwebs aren't considered vintage but there are definitely great images.

Keep it going.

We had a steamer trunk in the basement. At the bottom of the trunk there was a black and white photograph in a cardboard frame. The photo was of a man lying in a coffin. When I was a kid, I asked Mom who that was and she said she didn't know. I think it was my paternal grandfather. I always liked going through the trunk and finding that photo. When Mom moved to another house much later in life, I went to help her pack things. My brother and his wife were already there when I arrived. I went to the basement and opened the trunk. It was empty. I asked my about the photograph and my sister in law (!) said that she threw it out because it was disgusting. She was not a blood relative of the man in the photo and I asked her what right she had to throw it out. She simply repeated that it was disgusting.
