A chance retweeted photo caught my eye and stimulated my curiousity this morning and sent me down a rabbit hole of provenance research.
By the time I surfaced, I had discovered this rather astonishing photo shoot from 100 years ago. It’s said to be by Jules Richard, who is best known for the invention of the portable VĂ©rascope stereocamera, but also quite well known for his erotic photography work.

A bust of my namesake Bacchus supervised the entire thing with beaming avuncular approval:
