1000 Nudes. A History of Erotic Photography from 1839-1939; Taschen, 2014

A century of stimulation, this collection of 1,000 erotic photographs from 1839 to 1939 includes every risquй pose artists of each epoch could imagine. Drawn from the late Uwe Scheid’s collection, a renowned repository of suggestive imagery, these pictures in monochrome and hand-colored tints reveal as much about the development of nude photography as a genre, as about illicit fantasies, sexual mores, and social taboos.
