  Losbladige uitg. in portefeuille. Fine copy complete in the original portfolio of this series of photographic art studies of the nude female figure for artists and ‘Kunstfreunde.’ Hummer was a photographer based in Munich. Most of the 20 figurestudies are in the nude; a couple are draped in diaphanous gowns and one in a sheet. The title page is an etching signed ‘Gyenis’ reproduced in heliotype. The plates are printed on a heavy grade of art paper, each with original dust sheet. Though he does not mention this particular work, a good introduction to this subject is Peter Lacy, The history of the nude in photography (N.Y., 1964). For a list of other titles on nude photography see Roosens/Salu nos. 7526-7573. (Charles Wood, cat. 164)
