Having stated quite clearly in my past post that I would be henceforth focusing on my Paris Olympia Press collection, unless of course something really interesting comes along, well something did!
This took an age to scan in but it was a pleasure, this extremely rare and rather lovely lingerie catalogue, is the first in Lingeries Libertines series, although I have no idea how many were actually produced. In part this item interests me because of the association, with the Vidal publishing and fashion empire, and in particular connections to editions Couvre-Feu et al. But although I have no idea which images belong to which photographer I know some are Brassai, and therefore there is a link to my Paris Olympia Press collection as Henry Millers ” Quiet days in Clichy” which, although published in 1956, is illustrated with Brassai photographs from the 1930’s.
Before I forget to mention this is an actual magazine in my collection, and it is available for trade against my ever-diminishing Paris Olympia Press wants, so find me some items that can be located under my Books Wanted listings and you could own the real thing.
So here for your enjoyment are the entire contents of this beautiful photographic memoir of the decadent 1930’s, “The Golden Age of Erotica”

Oh you just made my day! I thought I had seen and collected the most photosI could find for Diana Slip Lingerie and then I discovered some I had never seen before as connected to this company and the magazine. I also discovered via your photos that one of the photographers was Olga Spolarics (Manassé Studio), as you mentioned already Brassaï was known for delivering photos for Diana Slip, as well as Biederer Studio, Roger Schall and Jean Moral.
