Photography: Bettie Page Legendary American pin-up model (1923-2008); her playful style, distinctive hairdo, and natural beauty made her an underground star who was rediscovered by later generations. Scarce set of 60 pairs of original color Stereo Easymount Photographic Slides manufactured by Craftmens Guild of Hollywood, CA. A beguiling group including 15 pairs of images of Bettie in a swimsuit on the beach and 45 pairs of studio images, 30 of them full or parital nudes. A few beach images are candid and show photographers, as do two studio images, possibly of "photography club" pioneer Cass Carr. Nearly all are unique poses. Most with some image or surface defects, though excepting one slide, condition is at least VG. We have not seen these particular photographs elsewhere! [60]
