France - Nude - Postcard (6) - 1920-1930

Six collectible picture postcards that were made to collect and not to mail. Too risqué for the postal service in the period 1920-1930. Originating from the photo studio of the Biederer brothers.

In the twenties and thirties, the studio gained fame for producing photographs of bold images of bondage, whipping, and spanking. These compositions made effective use of fetish clothing and accessories such as leather and rubber corsets, high heels, leather gloves, fetters, chains and chastity belts. Most BDSM photos depict scenes where women administer spanking to each other, or a dominatrix who humiliates and whips one or two female slaves. Biederer also took photos of men punishing women and photos showing men used as pony-slaves. At the end of the 1930s, the brothers established a subdivision called Studio Ostra, as a tribute to their birthplace Moraska-Ostrava.
