The Website Images
The vintage poses found on this website are dated as early at 1907. Julian Mandel was known as an artist and a skillful photographer of the classical pose. The vintage Classical Poses of Julian Mandel are a mix of some of his best images dating approximately 1915-1928. Jean Agelou and his brother Georges Agelou produced many pose images of women. One of the most popular was a model named Fernande; she is featured on this page. The images were produced as pose images for artists and marketed to the upper crust of French society through a French art magazine called "L'etude Academique" from 1907-1915. They remain as popular today as they were in their own day.
