Pin-up Greta Thysegen. Cannes 1951. “Miss Copenhagen”. (also Thyssen , Thygesen, Thyssegen). Contact prints. Photos from original negatives available.
A contact sheet from 1951 displays twelve black-and-white photographs of Greta Thysegen, then “Miss Copenhagen,” during a session in Cannes. On a sunlit beach, she strikes various pin-up poses in a leopard-print bikini, at times holding a dark, sheer scarf. The backdrop includes calm water, distant hills, and white beach cabanas. The vintage page itself, with a typed label identifying the subject, shows signs of age and has two reinforced hole punches on its left margin.
