  1. Could you tell me what publication the top picture in this set is from? Is it Lovee Parisian? If so, do you know the date and issue number? I would love to find a copy of this. This is the picture of the girl in a pink dress, with her hands, tied up in the air with what looks to be a vine, and being whipped by a man in a colored coat.
