Editorial Reviews:
Synopsis:

From 19th-century erotica to the publicized images of the 1990s, photo curator Ewing offers a rich, involving archive of images culled from worldwide collections that presents an exciting, provocative record of the camera's infatuation with the human figure. Over 360 duotone and color photos.


Review:

"This collection of photos is too varied to accurately summarize: carnival freaks to Olympic athletes, Victorian dirty postcards to postmodern fine-art collages, sublime freaks, freakish advertising beauties, stunning displays of human potential. This is not a coffee-table celebration of humanity; it will surprise, delight, and challenge the reader."

Wade Fox, Whole Earth Review, summer/1995
