1959réf. 134256Los Angeles: Pad-Ram Enterprises 1959. A Eight vintage still photographs from the 1959 film. Included are 4 stills from the US release and 4 stills from the UK release under the title "Mr. Teas and His Playthings." From a cursory glance one can immediately see the differences with regard to nudity paid by both US and UK publicists the UK stills decidedly more liberal with regard to the "forbidden flesh." The US stills were taken directly from scenes of the film and the UK stills appear to be from either a deleted scene or a mock setup designed for foreign publicity with Mr. Teas seen in a bathhouse with the "Buxom Bath House Beauties" Baby Dahl Chicky Fricase Frenchie Tost Teri Clawthe that were not seen in the final cut. The UK stills purport "Monstrous Murder!" and "Sizzling Suspense!" taglines however the final cut features neither murder nor suspense. The story finds the shy Mr. Teas played by William Ellis Teas a door-to-door dental appliance salesman who has a chemical reaction with an anesthetic that allows him to have X-ray vision as in "seeing through women's clothes." He also overcomes all of his inhibitions leading to ribald encounters with his dental nurse his therapist his secretary a girl in a bar etc. Russ Meyer's first feature produced by Pad-Ram Enterprises a monogram using the initials of director Russell Albion Meyer and producer Peter A. DeCenzie and the film that basically launched the lighthearted "nudie" pictures of the early 1960s.

For his debut Russ Meyer did even more of the crew work than usual shooting in four days during the spring of 1958 with a budget of $24000 ultimately making over $1.5 million worldwide. The film was marketed as a "nudist" film with a "French" sensibility but exhibited all the distinctive traits for which Meyer would soon become known including large bosoms insane plots a somewhat feminist perspective campy dialogue and guerilla cinematography.

1911réf. 169931911. Photo album compiled by a female student at Wellesley College between 1911 and 1919 documents women's higher education collegiate ritual and professional transition into teaching during the Progressive Era. The album traces the compiler's path from secondary schooling through her collegiate years and into her early career as an educator offering sustained visual evidence of female academic community at a time when women's access to advanced scientific and liberal education was expanding but remained institutionally distinct. Founded in 1870 Wellesley College had by the early twentieth century established itself as a leading center for women's study particularly in the sciences employing more female scientists than any other American institution of higher education. The photographs record campus architecture traditions intellectual life and female peer networks situating the album within the broader history of women's collegiate culture and professionalization in the years immediately preceding and during the First World War. Album contains 143 original silver gelatin print photographs dating from 1911 to 1919 mounted on approximately 100 pages within original black cloth boards measuring 9 x 12 inches; photographs range in size from approximately 2 x 3 inches to 4 x 9.5 inches. Numerous images depict Wellesley College campus scenes including Lake Waban and the chapel student residences labeled "Wellesley 1911-1912" and groups of students identified as "Students." Candid captions document daily academic life: six women bundled in hats and coats captioned "Off for math exam" students reading outdoors communal meals and informal portraits labeled with nicknames such as "Chub" "Selina" "Honey" and "Marion." Five photographs record the May Day 1912 "Senior Hoop Rolling" tradition. Additional academic images include interiors labeled "Drawing Room" "Mr. Wilson's Room" "Assembly Room" "Physics Lab" and "Library" at "M.H.S." as well as a group of sixteen boys wearing "M" shirts with three coaches and a trophy banner reading "OCIAA Relay Race 1912." Other collegiate references include "Harmony Hall" with caption "Inmates of H.H. 1913" and two large group photographs of women in white dresses before a banner reading "ETA Clionian" one dated 1914 associated with the teachers' college at New Paltz. Geographic excursions are documented through images labeled Frontenac Point Minnewaska Mohonk Yankee Lake in upstate New York and Digby Nova Scotia. Later photographs depict the compiler's transition into teaching with groups of children labeled "Primary" and "Intermediates" a staged school production featuring children in Pilgrim costumes and a building identified as "Quassaick Hall." Spanning the years 1911 to 1919 the album bridges the final prewar era of Progressive reform and the wartime transformation of American educational institutions. The visual record emphasizes female intellectual labor in mathematics and science campus ritual sororal association and the socially sanctioned pathway from collegiate training to professional teaching. Wellesley's prominence in scientific instruction for women situates the album within broader developments in women's access to laboratory education and academic employment. The inclusion of regional travel and teacher-training imagery further contextualizes the educational mobility of middle-class women in the northeastern United States. One page detached but present; minor handling wear to boards; photographs generally clear with strong contrast; overall very good condition. A cohesive and expansive visual archive documenting women's higher education peer culture and professional formation in the early twentieth century. unknown books
