Actress Brigitte Helm pictured in the rare 1932 book Hoyningen-Huene: Meisterbildnisse. The same year the book was published, Helm starred in the film Atlantis, directed by G.W. Pabst. Today she is best remembered for playing Maria and her double Futura in Fritz Lang’s Metropolis. #georgehoyningenhuene #brigittehelm #atlantis #metropolis #portraitphotography #rarebook #collectingphotography #blackandwhitephotography

Art patron, model and actress Lady Abdy features in the rare 1932 book Hoyningen-Huene: Meisterbildnisse. @ivanshaw writes about the extraordinary Lady Abdy in his chapter ‘Models & Muses’ in our new book George Hoyningen-Huene: Photography | Fashion | Film, edited by @suzy_brown_london Lya, Lady Abdy (1897–1993) was born Lya Grigorievna de Gay in Saint Petersburg. Her family escaped to Finland after the 1917 Revolution and she married the English shipping magnate Sir Robert Henry Edward Abdy, 5th Baronet of Albyns, in 1923. George Hoyningen-Huene photographed her on several occasions in the Paris studio of @voguefrance #ladyabdy #georgehoyningenhuene #1930s #vogue #fashionphotograhy #rarebook #collectingphotography #blackandwhitephotography

A chic French picture with a German title … Nachtkabarett auf dem Monmartre. The image was photographed for Vogue. It may have been shot at Place du Tertre, Paris, although the perfection of the scene suggests it was a film set intended to closely resemble the location. The image features in the rare 1932 book Hoyningen-Huene: Meisterbildnisse. #cabaret #monmartre #georgehoyningenhuene #1930s #vogue #fashionphotograhy #rarebook #blackandwhitephotography
