One of hundreds of postcards that Bettie appeared on.
Bettie worked with many photographers during her trips to Florida (1950 - 57).
One was H. W. Hannau, a prolific photographer who had over 60 publications. Primarily noted for scenic 📸 of South Florida, Bahamas, Caribbean, etc. He also shot many pinups that were in turn sold to Florida Natural Colors, Inc. for postcard printing.
These postcards would feature the hand color technique as seen in this one, released in 1954.

Between 1950 and 1957 while she was modeling in NY, Bettie took many trips to Florida. It didn't matter what time of year it was, she loved the beach that much.
Here she is on Miami Beach, Nov 1955, 📸 by another Florida photographer, Jan Caldwell
This image has been enhanced, and I added color to Bettie 👍

Dec 1944, Nashville Parthenon. Bettie (21) and brother Jack (20).
Bettie mentioned that this was her favorite fur (rabbit) coat, which she wore so much it got holes in it.

I'm sorry that most of you aren't interested in these posts, but I feel that it is very important to show Bettie Page as more than just a pinup. She was a person with a life outside of the camera as well.
This is Bettie(18) and her mother, Edna. 1941, at her home in Nashville.
