In most erotic pictures from that era, the women are NOT shaved. Perhaps this was a conscious decision by the photographer to make this pictures seem less "erotic"
Here are two examples of "erotic" photos from the 1930s; I appreciate their natural body look  |
Without knowing the original photographer's intention it's difficult to say - but I would have thought that they were retouched to hide the pubic hair to make the images more "classical" (in the way that 19th century artists used classical themes of nude and semi-nude women) - in the other pics the pubic hair is clearly visible
Here are some more from the same series
