A collection of one thousand nudes, all taken from the Uwe Scheid collection, one of the largest and most important collections of erotic photography in the world. Jam-packed with images, this fine paperback is indispensable to anyone interested in erotica from 1839-1939. The photographs are exquisitely reproduced, and range in subject matter from demure parlor portraits to the much more risqué. A fascinating archive.
