Belly Dance Artwork

Early Erotic Photography by S. Narzarieff. "Beautiful erotic photographs of women from the mid-19th century (most date from / published in the 1850's). Most are reproduced in color (originals were hand-tinted). Many seem to be depicting a harem / slave-girl theme. An outstanding addition to any erotica collection or historic photography collection. Some of the photos are reproduced from stereopticon slides and a number of the slides are reproduced as well as enlargements of the images. The majority of the photographs are reproduced as full page plates."
