 | author/editor Jay Moynahan title/subtitle Fifty Years of Prostitute Photos, 1870-1920. Volume V series/number Vol. 5 publisher Chickadee Publ., Spokane, Washington year (pages - size) 2012 (63, ill. - 8 ¼" x 5 ½") book cover gebunden mit farbigem Deckelbild source INT country USA blurb This is the fifth volume in the series. The photographers and women in the photographs are by and large unknown. Most of these previously unpublished photographs were produced by professional photographers. Many of the women are shown in photographic studios with painted backdrops. As in the previous books, the photographs range from fully-dressed prostitutes to those who have shed all their clothes. The photographs are not pornographic, the ladies are just not wearing clothes. Each photograph is accompanied by a quote about prostitutes or prostitution. These quotes come from a variety of sources. Some of the passages are serious while others are tongue-in-cheek. Although many of the quotes are from contemporary sources, they apply to the time period represented in this volume. Examples of quotes include Isabel Paterson, “If the state wants to eliminate prostitution, it would have to kill half of the population” and Andre Dworkin, “The argument between wives and whores is an old one; each one thinking that whatever she is, at least she is not the other.” comments - |
