Ancient Egypt via England 1880 EL188010 Costume Topless and fringed miniskirt. Necklace, headdress. TMLB. N-5. Bellage. Actions A temple maiden relaxes against a pillar covered with hieroglyphics (1). She is comfortable and at ease with her toplessness and near nudity. Commentary We tend to think of this as a modern silhouette, especially the dipping "bikini" low-rise waistline that rides well below the navel and waist and hangs on the hips. it is uncertain what, if anything, resides under the belted, see-through miniskirt, although the triple thongs in front help obscure, and reinforce, the private parts. But this is superb glamour, and it is 1880. Source Edwin Long, "The Eastern Favorite," 1880. Collected wikipedia.com. 1 picture. |
