.....from an 1890 Playboy calendar?

Here are some images that I was recently sent by a friend.  They are taken from the 1890 Playboy calendar, though I would have a bit of doubt about that point.  Playboy was never even started until 1953 or thereabouts.  Yet the images are quite interesting in themselves.  Personally, I never would have guessed that the women of the times would be so risque--with the remnants of the Victorian era still around.    But, hey, it wasn't too many years later that the flappers were flying around the dance floors...And don't ask me to explain the 15 pictures...maybe 1890 was a long year, or the girls were just too hot to

leave anyone out.
