NotesSt. Paul, 9¾ x 7½, 58 halftone illustrations. After J.C. Bridges' introduction, there are short essays that attempt to justify photography of the nude. Topics covered are the history and psychological basis of the subject, instructions on posing and lighting, and a short bibliography. A small section of male nudes are reproduced, but most of the images picture femal subjects, by Robert Demachy, Buck Hoy, Harold F. Kells, P.H. Oelman, Mac Thorek, and others. The cover features a standing woman with a jug, seen from the rear, my Minneapolis pictorialist Thomas Limborg.
