Presents "Sons of The Sun". Male nudes, almost all of them full-frontal, that anticipate by more than twenty years such contemporary classics as "Bear Pond". All of the models are German, and they are strikingly handsome, modern-day gods that recall the Ancient Age: "Their bodies demonstrate the symbols of vigor. Like Hercules, the divine hero of strength. Their nakedness is like that of proud Adonis, the lover of Aphrodite, the goddess of love: Virile, without blemish, and beautiful. Men brimming with the joy of living, full of enthusiasm for games and contests, and fulfilled with bursting energy: Sons of the Sun" (Preface). No collection is complete without this period piece. An absolute "must-have" title for erotic art photography collectors. This title is a modern erotic art photography classic. As far as we know, this is the only copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing (American) available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare copy thus. Some of the finest photographers of the male nude. "Sons of The Sun" was selected as one of the greatest erotic photography books in Alessandro Bertolotti's "Books of Nudes". A fine copy. no.
