This is a group of 12 contact sheet photos of a nude model taken and printed by Andre de Dienes. They were in a folder labeled “Legs Up”. He is noted for photographing Marilyn Monroe and other celebrities and famous for his nudes.  Three books of his nudes were published. His photos sell for thousands. I purchased a box of his contact sheets from an estate. Andre cut up the sheets and put them in envelopes. Some have regular cuts and markings. Some of the photos may be stamped on the back.
