An original vintage 1920's Modernist-style photo advertising the Vanity Kodak (ca. 1928-29) a camera manufactured by Kodak specifically for the female market. It would have come with matching compact, mirror, and change pocket, and is, at present, a highly collectible item. Note the streamlined, ultra-feminine case, here displayed in a superbly Deco setting--complete with reflections off a polished surface. Photographer's stamp verso. Westervelt was an advertising photographer based in NYC. Westervelt won the Art Director's awards for his Dobbs Hats photographs.
