The true First Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions, particularly the 1995 Reissued Edition and the regular trade softcover edition.

Glossy pictorial hard boards, as issued. Photographs by various contributors, a Who's Who of 20th-century photography. Text by various contributors. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper in Tokyo, Japan to the highest standards. The reproduction quality is outstanding in every respect. In glassine DJ with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. The DJ is missing in most copies, and was NOT issued in subsequent printings. Presents "Graphis Nudes: Volume 1". The definitive collection of erotic art photography at the end of the liberatingly eroticized 20th century. "The human figure has long been one of photography's most intriguing, challenging, and controversial subjects. The most popular title in the Series, Volume 1 is an elegant and exciting anthology of male and female nude photography from around the world. Introductions by two noted editors, Sean Callahan and Petra Olschewski, set the scene for the carefully selected and superbly printed gallery of outstanding images by more than 100 respected photographers" (Publisher's blurb). Here are the world's most respected photographers, the best by Herb Ritts, Sheila Metzner, Francois Gillet, Joyce Tenneson, Arthur Elgort, Christian Vogt, Robert Farber, Robert Mapplethorpe, Harry Callahan, and other world-renowned photographers. "One of the most beautifully produced collections of nude photography ever published" (Photoeye). An absolute "must-have" title for erotic art photography collectors. This title is an erotic art photography classic. As far as we know, this is the only copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing/First-State Glassine DJ available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a beauty. Please note: Should NOT be confused with all other subsequent editions, particularly the 1995 Reissued Edition and the regular trade softcover edition. Subsequent printings do NOT have the glassine DJ. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare copy thus. 100 plates. Some of the greatest photographers of the 20th century. A fine copy. . ISBN 3857094354.
