Description :

This is a truly odd vintage photo - young female contortionist in what looks like an impossible position for 99% of the population! Given the style of shoes and fishnet stockings, we are guessing this is from the 1940s or so - but a bit risqué for the time. Signed "Schween-Wagner" in the lower right. The photo itself is vintage in sepia tones and shows its age when light strikes it from certain angles (crease in upper left corner). There is also a small scrape to the photo paper above her left knee. Client loved the photo though, and chose to have it framed in professionally by Gallery Frames in ebonized brown-black wood.. We like the flaws as it speaks of age and sentiment. Note that the frame has a very slight wrinkle/flaw in the lower center, but it has been repaired and is barely noticeable - see last photo. 

Measures just over 16" H x just over 14" W.
