By Weber Costello Co. Chicago Heights, Illinois.
I love the steel Art Nouveau stand and the depth of colours to the globe.
Dating this globe is easy, firstly the overall aging and restorations to the globe, then the original Nouveau period stand.
But most interestingly is the names of cities and states around the world in 1925 had been changed.
In 1926 we had ‘Central Australia’ as another state.
This only lasted until 1931.
Constantinople was officially renamed Istanbul in 1930, among other interesting differences.

Nus cent photographies originales – de Laryen ‘Photogranveres’ Published in Paris 1932.
A wonderful example of exotic, erotic and artistic nude photography from the early 20th Century. The sepia tones beautifully highlight the female form, quite risque for the time, but very French. The fine photography is complimented by the use of quality paper. Deco style frames in singular and groups of three and eight. Also several unframed.
