Anyone interested in a vintage Klaw, please
Contact
me for details.
Everyone knows the Bettie Page Klaw photos and about the brother and
sister team of Irving and Paula Klaw so I am not going to bore you
with their story except to say that in order to save money, Paula
eventually took over the photographic duties and the Klaws were part
of a 1950s pornography witch hunt spearheaded by that irascible
fellow
Estes Kefauver.
This witch hunt involved Bettie Page and was instrumental in her finally
leaving New York so she wouldn't be harassed. When I first started
collecting Bettie Page Klaw photos, I thought they only used b&w film.
Then I found gorgeous color 3D slides of Bettie Page taken at the Klaw
studio. You can see examples on the next page. The last B&W photo was
used for publication in PRIVATE PEEKS and obviously not Bettie
(maybe Kevin Daley?). I do love the photograph and included it in the
Klaw section because I believe it is a Klaw photo. It is possible the
model's name is Kevin Daley. It is also possible the the very last color
photograph is not a Klaw.
