About Vintage Stuff

The aim of Vintage Stuff is to display some of the ephemera that I have collected, often inadvertently, over the years. I am now deliberately seeking out interesting old adverts, screen shots, leaflets, obscure record covers, picture postcards and illustrations; anything that catches my eye, in fact. They will be mainly, but not exclusively of UK origin (so many vintage blogs appear to be American) and almost always a scan from something that I actually have in my collection, rather than off the net. If you do re-blog, please acknowledge the source. Further stuff, mainly photographs, can be found on my Flickr pages, via the Benny Hill record cover.

 Tasteful nudes




It doesn't feature much these days, but during the 1950s, and through I think, to the 1990s, photographic magazines were keen to get their readers into nude or glamour work. Practical Photography for example would include several pages of adverts for either models for hire, or studios for rent (or both). I remember a vicar who complained that he would not let his son read the magazines because of their smutty content. 

These pictures were published as part of an article in the February 1958 issue of Popular Photography magazine, the models not named.
