Hardcover in blue paper. Light sunning. Very Good white pictorial dust jacket, some sunning, light soiling, now in Mylar. 190 pp. Includes reproductions of black-and-white and full-color photographs from a variety of different photographers. From inside the dust jacket: "This collection of 142 photographs is both a stunning anthology of the male nude and a revealing history of how male sexuality has been portrayed photographically, from the earliest daguerreotype self-portrait of Hippolyte Bayard to the formalized fantasies of Robert Mapplethorpe." Fully titled The Hidden Image: Photographs of the Male Nude in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries, this book includes many previously unpublished portraits from private and public collections.
