Men: A Pictorial Archive from Nineteenth-Century Sources

This book is great for collage work. The pictures are perfect for a vintage touch to artwork. There is a variety of pictures in different sizes and shapes.

Great variety

Wonderful selection of period illustrations. Paper quality is nice and opaque, but a BIT too porous; reproduction with Streamline is more difficult. Not enough nudes (only a few statues) compared to the book "Women".
