1930's Themed photoshoot of 1927 Patria

A friend, who is an avid collector of motorcycles, asked if I could photograph his most beloved bike. While it was his favorite bike, it was so rare, so valuable, and so unique that owning it made him absolutely sick. This thing of nasueating beauty was a one of one 1927 Patria. Due to its value and rarity, he decided it was time to remove it from his collection and sell it in auction. The facts that I recall of its history are that it was a sort of concept bike for the Spanish army in the 1920's. It was designed to accommodate a sidecar and included an acetylene powered headlamp.
I agreed to photograph this piece of history for the auction under the condition that he would also commission a model and wardrobe to have a period-themed shoot.

Luckily I had just the right model in mind and conveniently located in the town was a costume rental agency. A location was decided and the shoot was done. Below are the themed photo results.

Additionally, some standard photos for the auction:
