Over 120 years ago, an explosion of photographic freedom occurred – nude images of women (and men) escaped the painters’ canvases and began to appear on photographic paper via the camera lenses of innovative photographers. The vintage nude was born. Some nudes were filmed by “explorers” capturing the image of native tribes, some became French Postcard and some immortalized the actresses and dancers and models who were beginning to perform in silent films and on the stage of the Ziegfeld Follies.

Today, these black and white photographs (sometimes colorized by hand) are a window into the beauty of women of yesteryear. These sometimes quaint, retro beauties, fulfill a nostalgic yearning for the past. While, at the same time proving that the human form of a nude is amazing regardless of what year or time period they come from.

if you appreciate the female nude and would like to have such pinup prints on the walls of your man cave, dorm room, office, bedroom or as part of your general wall décor, you are in luck. I have nearly 100 vintage nude 8.5 x 11 inch photo prints for sale on eBay. Unfortunately, you can’t just go to eBay and search for them. A couple of years ago, eBay decided to de-list vintage nudes from their search catalog, making it harder for a buyer to find them. But they are still for sale and you can find them by going to my store on eBay here:

Here is a sampling of what is for sale!

Vintage Nude Photo Prints

I sought out the best and most epoch images by such photographers as Alfred Cheney Johnston, Edward Curtis, Frères Neurdein, Alfred Stieglitz and others – the greats of their time.

I also have enjoyed the work of those great artists that have created classic fine art nudes on canvas. If that is something that interests you, you can fine 250 8.5 x 11 inch photo prints of fine art nudes on eBay here:

News About Vintage Nude Photography Vintage Nude Photographs It is unexpected       how a woman seen in black and white       becomes more than an object of desire,       transformed by film,       into a work of art. The vintage nudes       of old French Postcards, tribal women of       North Africa, and the frolicking dancers       from Ziegfeld Follies’ stage, photographed so politely,       are windows now into a bygone era       which tells the truth that beauty in the form       of female nudes       is forever. ©2024 Carl Scott Harker, author of The Adventures of Oilock Combs: Two Sherlock Holmes Pastiches Peek Inside Bunny Yeager’s Vintage Archive Heritage Magazine for the Intelligent Collector - 1 month ago ...

This post features another work of Gil Elvgren – an artist who started out by creating illustrations for calendars and advertisements, then turned to creating pinup art. Of course, he was also an accomplished portrait painter. And this skill appears in this pinup art which shows a beautiful woman, at the bottom of a set of stairs, holding a lamp and a gun. A noise has disturbed her and what made the noise? Her cat!

Known as a humorous artist, at times, this pinup illustrates Elvgren’s sense of humor.

A reproduction of this image of this beautiful woman on the stairs is available as an 8.5 x 11 inch photo print. It is for sale at my store on eBay (without the watermark). You can learn more about purchasing a photo print titled “Looking for Trouble” by clicking on the picture. Or click on the link below the art to be taken to this eBay item.

The Cat, the Girl and the Gun Alone in the house,       she and the cat, Puff – her sister’s cat,       a sister a statistic of one of the many ways       people die,       too soon. She and the cat       had mourned together forging       their own bond. Alone, too,       because her spouse was away – serving the country,       perhaps, saving the world. Then the bang?? broke       her light slumber – not the creaking of the old house’s       wooden structure settling       in its own sleep, or the thunder from the storm       outside, this sound was inside –       a disturbing noise that needed investigation. Alone, she carried with her       the inherited revolver, her father’s passing gift –       said to be one of Doc Holliday’s guns – her       great grandfather played poker in Tombstone and Colorado       in the old days       (and often won). Down the stairs she crept       ready for anything – only to find relief       when she would discover the mystery was but a case       of the cat, Puff, knocking off a vase       from top a cabinet. ©2024 Carl Scott Harker, author of Classic Fine Art of Cats
