    One more from Diana Slip lingerie, probably shot by Roger Schall [this one could be from the same session] Diana Slip, a French lingerie company from the 1930’s owned by Léon Vidal. To say that they were a “lingerie company” is actually a bit loose . To be clearer, it was more like part of a erotica-supply conglomerate that made and sold fetish wear, condoms, erotic books and photography, and established the Librarie de la Lune (which I’m assuming is a pornographic reading room, but I haven’t been able to find concrete information on that.) They also produced a series of illustrated catalogues/magazines (including Lingerie Libertines and The Paris Magazine) with excellent fine art photographers such as Brassai, Jean Moral and Roger Schall.  photo and info from here

    To die: to sleep; No more; and by a sleep to say we end The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to, ‘tis a consummation Devoutly to be wish’d. To die, to sleep; To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there’s the rub;For in that sleep of death what dreams may come When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause. Hamlet (3.1.64-98) Carlo Mollino from Ghosts In The Snow

    To die: to sleep; 
    No more; and by a sleep to say we end 
    The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks 
    That flesh is heir to, ‘tis a consummation 
    Devoutly to be wish’d. To die, to sleep; 
    To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there’s the rub;
    For in that sleep of death what dreams may come 
    When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, 
    Must give us pause.

    more Irina Ionesco …her pictures of women, with their pallid complexions and statuesque poses, often suggest death. ‘Yes. I didn’t set out to do this — it happened. It is more than death, it is mainly the waiting. It is an image of loneliness. Loneliness and death are almost the same thing.  quoted from ‘How to Photograph Women’ by Dixons thanks to Miss Peelpants
