Lot of nine somewhat risqué
stereoviews of pretty young ladies in swimsuits or nightgowns all posed quite provocatively.
Published by L & S out of England. L.S. & Co. were a weird company.
Their views were marketed in the U.S. by the Universal Stereoscopic View Co.
and sometimes they appear in the U.K. by Albermarle or with no attribution at
all. Nobody seems to know who they were, where they came from and where they
went. They may have been Smellie and Co. They seem to comprise about four
models - the main one being an old gent with bushy beard and a merry twinkle in
his eye. Much like Mrs Brown's Boys,
I reckon the rest were probably family members. But they did do a
series of risqué images. This lot is represented by this group. There are four
view in nightgowns or dressing and the other five are girls in swimsuits. All
are titled. Very slightly curved cream mounts. Mild general wear. Sold together
only.
