These Lenny Burtman photos of Bettie Page were in real sad shape when I
received them. Dusty, dirty, fingerprints in the negatives, bad exposures,
etc... They took about two years to properly prepare for Private Peeks but
it was well worth the wait. Lenny was the grand foot/shoe/boot fetishist and
it really shows in these photographs of Bettie Page. Notice the positioning
of Bettie Page's foot gear and her sometimes stern facial expressions.
Pure Lenny! Thanks to Henry Feldstein and JRay for contributions on this page!

Leonard "Lenny" Burtman was involved in the fetish
publishing world from 1955 until the early 1980s.
Lenny was one of the greats. He was born in Nebraska
in 1921 and died in the early 1980s. During 1941-1950
he worked in the electronics industry. In 1949, he got
into some trouble which involved the transporting of
fraudulent securities. He moved to New York in 1950 to
begin a new life. He became a professional photographer
and supposedly worked for Irving Klaw. He then went
out on his own to become a magazine publisher with
Benedict "Ben" Himmel. Their long term partnership
lasted from Oct. 17 1955 to 1970.
Lenny Burtman never had any children. During World
War II...
