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:

* Reference photo collection - Contains over 300 Miss Fernande’s postcard photos. This is virtually a complete collection, organized by series, in 1.5"  index and 8"  full size photos, 300dpi. They have been  restored to their original B&W state, with distracting flaws eliminated.

* Three slide shows featuring period music - The slideshows are organized by  young, mid, and mature period Fernande.

* Rare colorized, obscure, and stereo view reference photos, including her last sessions.

* Chronology, commentaries, and comparative photos of her style progression and look-alikes.

* Site updates as new postcards and upgraded examples become available.
