I mentioned the Biederer brothers and their Ostra Studio in a couple of older post, fascinated by their tragic story and by their role in shaping kink as we know it. Although they are just about one century old, the sepia-tinted photos and films they produced suggest a wholly different world and view of eroticism.
I might be a pervert, but I like to examine the pictures surviving today for hints to their underlying story. The perplexed expression on a model’s face, maybe, or some odd item in the background – the imagination runs wild at a hundred different details.

This is why I was very pleasantly surprised when I discovered Karen Smit’s website, archiving all the known Ostra Studio works in one voyeur-friendly online location. The site is, in fact, just one offshoot of a larger effort of collecting and curating vintage unusual porn – and it will bring a smile to every connoisseur of erotica.
