Olde Time German Tit Fight

Those of us you enjoy watching ladies tussle in various stages of undress have to admit that we have it better than our forebears. We are almost spoilt for choice with a range of fighting styles captured on video and on the web by several dedicated producers in the Americas, Europe and Asia. So I have to give a tip of my cap to those who came before us and couldn't simply fire up their computer to check out photos of ladies going at it. Plus, looking at the vintage catfight photos gives us a sense of what it must have been like when it was hard to even imagine that anyone else shared one's particular interest. With the dictates of society and the limits of photographic technology, I can only stand (or perhaps bow) in awe of those who took photos like the one featured above.

I'm not going to argue that these German ladies, catfighting in the late 30s I believe, are particularly beautiful or that the shot is brilliantly composed. Instead, I like this photo because they are obviously ordinary looking ladies who were somehow convinced to catfight in front of a camera. And from the seeds planted from early photos like this, an entire industry (albeit a tiny one) has grown.
