  4. Hi Penny, Julie and Sharon, there are quite a few photographs in this series, these three are my favourites, they were commissioned by Life Magazine. Doisneau concealed his camera in an antique chair and angled it at the nude, then I guess he just lay in wait for the passers by.

  7. Classic...just love them!

    I just noticed your Penguin version of Lady Chatterley's Lover. I found an old copy of The African Queen by C.S. Forester in one of my clean ups yesterday. Just love those old Penguin books...

    Best wishes Dash for a wonderful weekend.

  8. These are super! Had seen the top one, but not the others - being part of a set makes the whole thimg much more amusing. He must have had a great laugh whilst doing these!

    Have a great weekend!
