Fifty years before Bettie Page became a pinup icon, another beauty was equally celebrated in Europe. Her name was Miss Fernande. While Bettie adorned the pages of men’s magazines, Fernande’s medium was artistic erotic postcards, which were all the rage at the time. Most of her photographs were taken by Jean Agelou and distributed by his label, JA Studios, in Paris.

Little is known about the lovely Fernande, not even her last name (the postcards only indicate “Miss Fernande”). Though she is largely forgotten today, her photographs are still collected worldwide by an ardent following.

Available here online:

* Photo Collection - Contains over 400 Fernande postcard photos, many rare and obscure. This is virtually a complete collection, organized by series, in 1.5" index 8" full size views. They have been  restored to their original B&W state, with distracting flaws eliminated.

* Rarities - Colorized, fantasy, and stereo reference photos. Includes Fernande's last sessions.

* Slide Shows - Three slide shows organized by young, mid, and mature period Fernande. They are accompanied by period music for your viewing pleasure.

* Extras - Chronology, commentaries, and comparative photos of Fernande's style progression and lookalikes.

* Updates - Periodic updates as new discoveries and higher grade examples become available.
