[Note the inscription of her aristocratic name "Sylvia von Harden" on the inner cover of the cigarette box]

Journaliste à Berlin dans les années 1920, Sylvia von Harden (1894-1963) s’affiche en intellectuelle émancipée par une pose nonchalante. Otto Dix contrarie son arrogance par le détail d’un bas défait. Sa robe-sac à gros carreaux rouges détonne avec l’environnement rose, typique…

Ruth Jacobi, Spaziergängerin mit Gans, Humorous street snapshot from the Jewish Quarter of a woman walking a goose by the collar as if the fawl were her dog in the streets of New York City, 1928

Ruth Jacobi was the sister of Lotte Jacobi. Photography ran in the Jacobi family. Lotte and Ruth's great-grandfather, Samuel Jacobi, visited Paris between 1839 and 1842, where he obtained a camera, a license, and some instruction from L.J.M. Daguerre and then returned to Thorn to set up a studio. He prospered at his trade and eventually passed the business on to his son, Alexander. Alexander, in turn, handed the business down to his three sons, the eldest of whom was Lotte and Ruth's father, Sigismund. 

Ruth Jacobi emigrated in 1935 to New York, where she opened a studio together with her sister Lotte Jacobi.

Photograph by Else Neuländer Simon, also known as Yva, circa 1920s, Berlin.

Born in 1900 in Berlin, Else worked her magic through fashion and advertising photography as well as owning a popular studio. She had a keen eye for the sensual interplay of light and shadow and used lines and curves to dramatically display the women she photographed.

Frequently, she said more about a subject by deliberately avoiding the model's face. Many photos focused on, or depicted solely, a woman's legs, and they were sexy and sophisticated works that endure through today. The importance of her art and her role are reflected in the fact that she taught Helmut Newton, who went on to become one of history's most famous photographers.

Gil has, by virtue of being a trans dude that oscillates between gay and bi and who ID’d as a lesbian during the Weimar Era, the very dubious honour of being able to claim himself as LGBT, all at once

Napoleon being tired out by age:

“I attended the Weimar ball. The Emperor Alexander dances, but I don't; forty years are forty years.”
