Lewis Morley's Photograph of Christine Keeler Sitting the Wrong Way Round on a Copy of a Arne Jacobsen Chair (UK) 1963. The back turned to us (the chair’s), the uncertain slant of light, reveal and conceal, to a thirteen year old boy’s delight, hints at what had happened in the infamous honey trap. Elbows hide her boobs, no shins shown, shadowed darkened kneecaps, through a rough cut off-center handhold, almost worth the view, a bit of bare belly. But even that is shadowed too. Quaint now. That was a different time, a different world. The chair, the winner, became more an icon than the girl.
