Shot by a Baron


A few years ago, I came across this image in the Flapper Girl blog, and it was love at first sight. I expected this to be a drawing or painting used as an illustration for a twenties' fashion magazine, and I was almost right. It was indeed published in the Harper's Bazaar magazine of November 1929, but it turned out to be a photograph, shot by celebrities photographer Baron Adolph de Meyer (1868 - 1946). I could not find information on the model.
