About This Item
Simon's Town, South Africa: Janssen Publishers CC, 2003. Book. Very Good+. Soft cover. Third Printing. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. Large quarto paperback bound in color pictorial card covers. 80 pages.

Illustrated throughout with black and white nude or semi-clad drawings of men in a neoclassical style. Third printing, the International edition. George Quaintance was an American artist, famous for his "idealized, strongly homo-erotic" depictions of men in mid-20th-century physique magazines and the stylistic and historical context of his art led many to refer to him as a "pioneer of a gay aesthetic". No previous ownership marks. A used but still clean, tight and unmarked copy. Mild slant to spine from shelving and just a hint a curl to fore-edge at bottom. Very good+. .
