After the death of Mr. Klaw, his sister Pauline, sold about 70 sets of flats to Ed Mishkin, who had been a prolific publisher of controversial adult materials since the early 1950s. Flats contained the films with which offset plates were burned. Mr. Mishkin was publishing Mutrix booklets in Jersey City, at the time the flats were delivered, and 70 of his Mutrix titles were second printings of Nutrix booklets. This item shows Nutrix on the title page and Mutrix on the back cover.

We’ve sold Volume 1 of this seven-part series in product #522. In Volume 4, pretty Bettie Page is seen restrained in more than half the photos but appears in control in the others. About half of the original 60 pages are text, the others monochrome photographs.

The models appear in stockings, held in place by either garter belt or garters, heels, bras and panties. To avoid conflicts with post authorities, Mr. Klaw had someone paint short, black slips or dresses onto the bodies of the models. This was intended to ensure modesty and circumvent accusations of obscenity.

Miss Bettie and her shapely cohorts are attached to saw horses, wood platforms, wood frames, a table, the floor, a barber chair, a sofa and the famous tufted satin love seat. They are held in place by ropes, cuffs, chain, leather straps, stifled by assorted gags, and blinded by a leather contraption. Several pictures show women holding a hair brush.

The ebook includes all pages (except ads) in the order of the original. The tonality of the photographs has been adjusted and specks and streaks retouched. Most of the pictures with a vertical orientation have been stretched to fill the screen from top to bottom. Photographs with a horizontal orientation have been rotated to appear appropriately in the ebook. A couple of pictures are repeated with details enlarged.

For those who like 1950s bondage and fans of the sublime Bettie Page, this volume offers a quick peek at her loveliness in captivity and administering discipline. Her facial expressions charm with looks of confounded captive and the serious enforcer.
