Dian Hanson's: The History of Men's Magazines. Vol. 1: From 1900 to Post-WWII

"Men's magazine" is a euphemism for "sex magazine," though when first conceived in Paris colorful illustrations, jokes and cartoons predominated. Volume 1 covers this genre from its sophisticated beginnings in 1900 to 1945, with over 700 rare covers and interiors from France, Germany, the U.S. and--surprisingly--Turkey.
