Antique Nude Glass Negatives

True story: A couple of decades ago, a collector is in Biarritz. In search of Operatic 78 rpm recordings stumbles into a more delicious find -- four boxes full of glass negatives. The people were going to throw away what the collector calls jewels...

The antique negatives tell of two young Spanish people in Biarritz. Pretty glimpses into days gone by, yes, but of more interest to us is the set of negatives includes nude images of what the collector calls a "young Catholic virgin." While it seems fantastic that at such a time (1900), in place (religious Spain), such photos were taken, one must be reminded of the centuries of artistic nudes. Someone had to model.

What is interesting to me is to see the same form dressed and 'out and about' as well as nude in a more private setting -- that really breathes the life into the past for me...

To view these antique images, visit Catholic Erotica 1900.
