Photographic history covering different aspects of sado-masochistic practices from 1850-1960.

Nude photography did not begin with Playboy. Until the advent of photographic reproduction in the mid-nineteenth century, portrayal of the naked body - preferably female - was the painter's prerogative. Whereas painting usually veiled sensuality with religious or mythological connotations, nude photography revealed it directly and without inhibition. Although classic fine art poses are often copied, the photographic model's inviting expression or lascivious gesture addresses the observer much more immediately.A woman you can almost touch, yet who is captured only on paper... The erotically suggestive aura of these pictures has not lost its subtle effect even today.

Dieser Band dokumentieerl ein breiles Spektrum sadomasochistischer Prakliken und bietel eine spezielle Sitlengeschichle der Jahre 1850 bis 1960 im Speigel der Photographie. This book documents a broad spectrum of sado-masochistic practices and presents a photographic record of the history of sexual morality from 1850 to 1960. Ce volume documente le vaste spectre des practiques sadomasochistes, et constitue une sorte d'histoire des moeurs entre 1850 et 1960, vue, cette fois, par le "petit bout de l'objectif".
