About This Item
Concord Publications, 1950s. Very Good Plus. Two volumes, stapled softcover 12mo, 2/6 cover price, 56pp, distributed by Thorpe & Porter, b/w throughout, color foldout centerfold, color wrappers Vintage adult digest magazine featuring airbrushed nude photography of British models, notably Rosina Revelle front/3pp/foldout cf (No. 4) and a few pages (No. 5). Rosina always had impeccable hair and makeup. Also featured is Ann Austin front/4pp (No. 5), and Rosa Dalmai, Kathleen Byrne, Lyn Hamilton, Serge Jacques, Paula Page, Gloria Walker, artist w/ model. Hundreds of similar digest magazines were produced by fly-by-night operations, mainly around New York, but UK editions more often contained foldouts. Earlier digest examples maintained airbrushing techniques rolled over from nudist magazines, much of the posing naturally obscuring otherwise censored areas. Nearly all were packaged as "figure studies" for the art or photography enthusiast. Still scarce institutionally. Very Good overall, rubbing and toning, a few small creases and bruises, and store stamp on rear (No. 5). For mature, consenting audiences.
