MOYNAHAN, JAY [COMPILED BY].

Publication: Chickadee Publishing, 2009, Spokane

First edition. 8vo. Signed by the compiler. Pictorial stiff wrappers, 63 pp., acknowledgments, introduction, illustrated from photographs. This is the fourth volume in the series. Although the photographers are mostly unknown, most of these previously unpublished photographs were produced by professionals. Many of the women are shown in photographic studios with painted backdrops. As in the other books in this sequence the photographs range from fully-dressed prostitutes to those who have shed all their clothes. The photographs are not pornographic, the ladies are just not wearing any clothes. Below each of the photographs are statements, comments or observations about prostitutes or prostitution during the years from 1870 to 1920. Examples include; Lolo Montez, “I was always notorious, never famous” and Madam Mary Hastings, “Any girl who is good enough for a high-class house is too good for my joint." As new.
