Book Description
In 1839 Louis Jacques Mande unveiled the daguerreotype upon the world and it became possible to produce erotic images of real women taken in real time. After its first stumbling technical steps, this new medium of photography opened up unforeseen worlds, including the world of glamour and eroticism, to a mass market. Peep Show Pinups celebrates the history of erotic, sexually-charged photographs of women, pioneered in France but spreading through Europe and across to North America, from the 1840s until the 1930s. It offers sketches of the studios, the photographers, the models, and captures the costumes, sets, and props. This book follows the technological evolution in the medium from the fragile daguerreotype to the first printed cabinet cards and the mass market saucy postcards. It explains the experiments that allowed the introduction of color and the illusion of three dimensions and movement into the medium, and the shifting balance between the demands of the market and the strictures of the law. Above all, this book offers delightful photographs of women from past eras and creates a timeline of sensuality and eroticism. The authors acknowledge and delve into the issues of commercial, racial, and sexual exploitation that were present from those earliest days of erotic photography until today, but Peep Show Pinups is also a celebration of sensuality, fun, style, and joie de vivre in what may be regarded as its golden era.

Book Description
This lovely gift book--available in three striking cover options that will be shipped to customers at random--will beguile a new generation with flirtatious representations of femininity from the 1940s and 50s. Illustrations of irresistible pinup models bring teasing frivolity to a range of everyday situations, organized thematically from morning to evening. From sun-kissed beauties at the beach to ski bunnies hitting the slopes, bedside nurses ready to take your temperature to scantily clad runaways, rakish shipmates to not-so-conscientious secretaries, these smiling cuties are ready for fun. Representations of women who embrace their sexuality--flirtatious but never vulgar--have been around since the late nineteenth century, but the pin-up genre skyrocketed into popularity during World War II. The penny arcade trading cards originally viewed on a peep-show style reel and reproduced here as detachable illustrations feature both established pin-up artists and those waiting to be rediscovered. Each illustration is accompanied by a humorous and memorable celebrity quote.

Book Description
Humans have always depicted erotica - among the oldest surviving examples are Paleolithic cave paintings and carvings. The ancient Greeks did it; the Romans did it; on the opposite side of the Atlantic the Moche of Peru did it. Before the middle of the nineteenth century these images generally consisted of paintings and drawings. But Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre changed all of that by inventing the first practical process of photography.Daguerreotypes did not fade with time and as with so many advances in image capture¿polaroids, cine film, video and digital cameras¿artists quickly used the new technology to depict the undraped feminine form.The French pioneered erotic photography, producing nude postcards¿although the cards were never sent by post, it was illegal. Nudes were also marketed in magazines. And so the pinup was created. The ¿pin up¿images could be cut out of magazines or newspapers, or be from postcards. Such photos often appear on calendars, which are meant to be pinned up anyway. Later, posters of ¿pin-up girls¿ were massproduced. Peep Show Pinups: The Golden Age looks at the wealth of images that have survived from the end of the nineteenth and the start of the twentieth centuries.

Book Description
A treasure trove of pin-up girl images from photographer Bunny Yeager, celebrated for her playfully erotic photos of Bettie Page that continue to influence photography and fashion today. The only woman pin-up photographer of her day, Bunny Yeager was also a model in her own right. After winning several beauty pageants in Miami, Yeager went to photography school, and in 1955, she hit the jackpot with her shot of Bettie Page scantily clad in a Santa hat, which sold instantly to the fledgling Playboy magazine. The beginning of a long collaboration, her photographs of Bettie have now been featured on more magazine covers than those of Marilyn Monroe. This glamorous volume gathers more than a hundred lens-fogging photographs embodying the naughty girl-next-door eroticism of pin-up culture. Culled from Yeager’s extensive archive, the collection includes her most iconic shots of the legendary Bettie as well as many previously unpublished images. Yeager’s pioneering self-portraits and excerpts from her charming 1960s how-to manuals are featured alongside dozens of wholesome beauties shot in the studio and on location. A fun and sexy book, it is sure to tap into the current burlesque trend and the popularity of glamour photography and vintage American culture.
