The Olympian Vol. II, No. 9 (July, 1934)
AU$200 Read MoreAdd to cartVincent Burke
West Haverstraw: The Olympian League, 1934.Single issue of the newsletter of early American nudist organisation the Olympian League, issued shortly after a raid on one of the group’s events at a Manhattan gymnasium led to charges against the editor. Although those involved were ultimately acquitted, the backlash against the ruling helped bring about the 1935 New York state anti-nudism ban. This issue discusses the organising of a national nudist body in light of the case, part of a feature on Tony Sansone, and more. No holdings of The Olympian recorded in OCLC.

Nudism in a Cold Climate: The Visual Culture of Naturists in Mid-20th-Century Britain
AU$65 Read MoreAdd to cartAnnebella Pollen
Los Angeles: Atelier Editions, 2021.“Annebella Pollen’s richly illustrated study examines the idiosyncratic phenomenon of social nudism, or naturism, in 20th-century Britain, a place known for its lack of sunshine and conservative attitudes to sex. By bringing naturists’ own words and images to light, Nudism in a Cold Climate tells this little-known but fascinating history for the first time. From the 1930s, thousands of people appeared nude in books and magazines associated with the nudist movement, drawing attention to the cause, attracting public curiosity and inciting moral panics. Naturist nude photography offers a fascinating lens on moral, legal and aesthetic shifts over a century of dramatic social change, including national beliefs about sex and gender, ethnicity and class, pleasure and power. Nudism in a Cold Climate offers readers a fascinating glimpse behind British veils of propriety and a unique view inside an enduring experimental culture that sought to radically challenge, liberate and ultimately transform conventional attitudes to bodies and their representations.” (publisher’s blurb)
