Book Overview

The history of nude photography is the history of people's fascination with the topic. Indeed, the photographic depiction of the human body is the only subject that has enthralled photographers, theoreticians, and consumers over such a long period--more than 150 years. No other motif is as prevalent as this one during all the phases of development comprising the history of photography, no other is present, whatever the technique,...

A Wonderful Collection

While we are no longer scandalized by the nude body, we have too much allowed our sophistication to turn to boredom. With this collection we can trace the aesthetics of nudity and see its genres and developments. Here the standards of beauty, posture, and placement become clear as historical consequences. We see too the elements of technology as they influence the stance and audience. That this collection is cheap and fairly well reproduced, if in a small format, makes this book even more laudable and a boon to all who buy it.

every woman should own this book to show to their guy

This is what most women look like. If you want to see real nudes, not digitally or surgically altered, buy this book. This coming from someone who knows the business of digitally altering photos.

Fantastic Nude Erotic Photography from 1839 - 1939

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the human body as an art form. The pictures give a representative history of the female nude since the inception of the camara.The pictures in this book delighted me and also shocked me. Most of the pictures are of erotic in nature but some are very explicit showing sexual intercourse.The quality of the pictures are of good quality considering most of the picutres were taken over 100 years ago. This is a must have for any collecter of erotic photography.

The best book around on Vintage Erotica!

All the photos are old-time nudes and erotica but the images from the mid 1800's are astonishing. Nudes, kink, even sexual stuff! The material is presented along with some excellent and insightful commentary. All in all this book is amazing value and highly recommended!

An excellent representation of turn of the century nudes!

All of the nudes in this book are dated to the late 19th early 20th century. It is an astonishing look at the period. I found the photos surprising, beautiful, and at times humorous, each picture more captivating than the next.
