Spiral bound black cloth stamped in silver; covers a trifle rubbed; a near fine copy with the rare pictorial dustwrapper a little worn (most notable over the spiral binding), and with a few closed tears and one area of loss (approximately 3 × 6 cm) to the rear panel. A series of striking nude 'Camera Studies posed by the famous dancers and physical culturists Gaston and Andrée' (from the preface).
