Description
Title: Kaloma.
Artist: Published by Pastime Novelty Company, New York.
Silver gelatin photograph, 1914.
Edition not mentioned.
Unsigned.
Image size 12 x 5" (31 x 12.6 cm). Framed size 14 x 9 1/8
In 1914, a vignetted image of a young woman boldly posed for the camera in a sheer gauze peignoir became popular. Titled "Kaloma," it was originally produced as an art print. The risque image was popular and sold well. Also in 1914, the image appeared on the cover of "Kaloma, Valse Hesitante (Hesitation Waltz)" composed by Gire Goulineaux and published by the Cosmopolitan Music Publishing Company, 1367-69 Broadway, New York. Kaloma's popularity continued as she became a pinup during WW I, and appeared after the war on post cards. After discrete airbrushing darkened her peignoir, Kaloma appeared in other popular advertising.
