Description

I have been casually looking for a sweet piece by Fortunino Matania - during November CAL, I was able to find and acquire this beauty as part of a trade.

Thanks to Jeff Singh for a super easy deal and transaction - well, USPS was not so great on speed on my shipment to Jeff but this piece arrived super-fast from Canada.

From Wikipedia on FM:
Generally he managed to include one or two voluptuous nudes in each picture. "The public demanded it," says Matania. "If there was no nude, then the editor or I would get a shower of letters from readers asking politely why not."

This piece is of Princess Caraboo - an interesting story that was made into a 1994 film with Phoebe Cates playing the 'Princess'. Art was used as the back cover of "Fortunino Matania Portfolio Volume 1" from Book Palace (see additional image)

Trades can be win-win in this hobby!
