Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition, Illustrated Edition. Near Fine, solid crisp clean tight. One of Britain's pioneers of erotic male photography during the 1950s and '60s, Paignton persevered to overcome a repressive anti-gay British state. The books feature a selection from 40 years of photographs of male European G…erman French English models, more black models than most beefcake photographers of the era, in studios, hotel rooms, secluded beaches, gardens and balconies. Barrington (1920-1991) with an introduction by Emmanuel Cooper. Receiving a formal art training in Paris, he was also a visual artist and sculptor, and earlier in his career worked in theatre design. Barrington began picking up and photographing men at the pool, eventually going on to establish one of the most prolific physique studios of the 20th century, during which time he probably published and distributed more full male nudes than any of his contemporaries up until the changing censorship laws in the latter part of the century Photos in black and white. Out of print, second impression, lavender cover (the first impression was a tangerine cover). John Shipley Shreve Paignton Barrington (illustrator).
