"This photo is of Yva Richard, who was a seamstress in the 1920-1930s.
She used photo as a support to her business, which was rather kinky:
lots of open crotch panties and bloomers, corsets, high heeled shoes, boots
and flirtatious lingerie and dresses. You can find an album of her work at:

Editions Astarté
- 58, rue AMELOT, 75011 PARIS - France.

 

The below five pictures are staged, posed caricature photos -- c1860.

Nice cabinet card entitled
"La Tosca Montés."

Anyone know what that means?
Her name?
