Albert Arthur Allen

Dude... there is no wikipedia page for this man! That makes me sad. There is a Salon.com article on him from 2001 though.

Basically he took a bunch of nudie pictures of flappers in the 20s. This is probably the only clothed photo he did, but it's my favorite so... no boobs today. Sorry.

Oh yeah! He was also arrested for mailing obscene things between states and is kind of a civil rights/ censorship martyr. Rock rock on.
