Description
Is she hiring a detective or is the boss hiring a secretary? There are endless possibilities.The style is pulp fiction ... could have been the cover of a racy paperback from the 1930s / 40s. Many film noir elements here and a deliberate low angle giving the composition erotic potential. For those who need to know ...the objects in the foreground are an Underwood No 3 typewriter from 1920 and an Ericsson AC 500 magneto telephone from 1918.
