Beauty in the Human Form by Gaston and Andrée
London, Gaston and Andrée, [circa 1937].
Quarto, [vi] pages plus 32 plates from photographs by Walter Bird, with captions on the facing versos.
Spiral-bound black cloth stamped in silver and ruled in blind; a fine copy with the rare pictorial dustwrapper a little worn (mainly over the spiral binding), 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). The photographs are by Walter Bird FRPS (circa 1903-1969), who was well-known for his nudes. The spiral binding has almost certainly ensured that any dustwrapper is a rare survivor.
