What started out as a simple trip to apostcard fair turned into a lifelong investigation for author Robert FlynnJohnson. Captivated by the beauty and originality of a group ofnineteenth-century photographs of women, he had to know more. Now, nearly a decade after his firstencounter with the images, Johnson has uncovered more than two hundred vintagephotographs of women who lived and worked at a brothel in Reading,Pennsylvania, circa 1892. Taken by commercial photographer William Goldman, thephotographs paint a full picture of the environment that the womeninhabited--from inside the brothel, posing artistically for the camera, to theiroff-duty routines, such as reading, smoking, and bathing. Never-beforepublished and taken two decades before the famous E. J. Bellocq photographs ofprostitutes in Storyville in New Orleans circa 1913, these beautifully producedphotographs are only now seeing the light of day. Johnson uses these photographs to detailtheir aesthetic, historical, and sociological importance in the history ofphotography, examining them alongside paintings and photographs by such artistsas Degas, Picasso, Atget, and more. Accompanied by essays from Professor RuthRosen and Dennita Sewell that provide an insightful historical overview ofthese images in context of the period in which they were taken and a foreword fromfamed burlesque dancer Dita Von Teese, this volume provides a personal visualrecord of lives of these women while also offering a deeper understanding ofthe Working Girls that existed morethan 120 years ago.
