Private Collection A History of Erotic Photography By providing a historical overview of nudity and sex in photography, this book offers an intriguing insight into the way pornography was made alongside the development of photography. Private Collection includes an extremely readable and informative essay by Cressida Connolly which discusses pornography from an historical perspective, the way the sex industry was used in the 19th century, and how this affected the production, function and availability of pornography: “There were no rules. It is the revolutionary newness of these images which makes them as exciting as their subjects.” This title includes over 250 pornographic photographs from Danny Moynihan’s personal collection, including images made by some of the earliest erotic photographers, right up to the 1940s. Harry N Abrams; 2008; Hardcover; 13.5 x 9 in (34.3 x 22.9 cm); 304 pp; ISBN: 9781904212188 |
