The Beauty of the Female Form

London: George Routledge & Sons, 1934.
First Edition.

25cm x 18.5cm. xxiii, 48 pages, black and white illustrations. Yellow cloth, paper labels, pictorial jacket.

First printing of the first nudist / naturist volume from the English ‘Seen by the Camera’ series, 48 photographs by the prolific husband and wife photography team. An introduction by the photographs followed by numerous critical annotations doing its best to put forward the seriousness of nude photographs and that such publications were for serious students of art and science, a long-held stance dropped in the second book of the series.

Some foxing, mostly to endpapers, and the occasional minor rub. The shelfworn jacket with small chips and tears. Good Condition.
