AU$800.00 Read MoreAdd to cartRoye
London: George Routledge & Sons, 1939-1942.Complete set of the four nudist volumes, in their dust jackets, on women of the United Kingdom by Horace Roye (1906-2002) from the Seen by the Camera series published in the early years of WWII.

Roye was a class above many of his contemporaries and this four volume set is a clear demonstration of his talents. All of the photos in this series are of a single female model taken outdoors in numerous settings from numerous angles, beautifully captured and well printed, showing an ease and enjoyment between photographer and model. Roye’s battle against the censors is on show as well with the airbrushing at times barely attempted.
