Rosalind Beddome was born 1894 in Brisbane, Australia. After a successful career as an actress she studied at the London School of Photography and married surgeon Rodney Maingot. The influences of her previous career can be seen in her theatrically posed, expressive photographs of portraits, figure studies and flowers. In 1932 she was made a fellow of the Royal Photographic Society and in 1933 had a one woman show at the Camera Club. Her work was published in the Sketch between 1933 and 1946. Later she worked alongside her husband as a medical photographer and helped set up the Royal Photographic Society’s Medical group. In 1947 she went on a lecture tour in America where she socialized with American photographers including Mildred Hatry her account of which was published in the RPS Journal Feb. 1948 “A woman photographer visits America”. She died in 1957 in London. quoted from source

Kaloma, 1914

Kaloma, Pastime Novelty Company (PNC, PNCo.), 1914. Gelatin silver print. Unknown photographer. A nude woman, allegedly Josephine Earp, draped in a long, transparent veil. The veil covers her head and is draped to the ground. She is standing with both hands in front of her. | src The J. Paul Getty Museum

This portrait gained fame when it was rumored to be Josephine Sarah Marcus, Wyatt Earp’s third wife. A novelty company, The Pastime Novelty Company, in New York City, published the picture as a postcard, and Kaloma became widely popular as a pin-up during World War I.

Photogravure of a semi-nude woman published on the cover of *I Married Wyatt Earp* | src wikimedia

This photogravure (image above) of a semi-nude woman was published on the cover of I Married Wyatt Earp. Editor Glen Boyer insisted it was a picture of Josephine Earp from 1880 but the picture was actually copyrighted in 1914. The 1914 copyright is the earliest known version of the photograph. Circulated by the ABC Novelty Company in Brooklyn, New York, in 1914. It is labeled “Kaloma” underneath, and at the bottom right is printed, “© 1914-P.N.Co.”, which was the copyright of the Pastime Novelty Company.
