A contemporary review of this book: 'The photographer who wishes to make a picture that possesses an intrinsic worth must have the vital, elusive flame of innate artistic perception within him. It is not enough for him merely to possess a technical mastery of his instruments any more than a competent artist can become great who lacks the sixth sense of form that stamps a genius. The plates in this book show some of the most famous models in Europe. Not only do they each possess a face and figure which are expressive and photograph well, but they have the intelligence to co-operate with the photographer in producing the effect striven after. Only by this partnership between artist and model can a photographic masterpiece be produced. A painter can work with an indifferent model, because his eye comes! between the painting and the sitter. The lens of the camera has no interpretative power, and hence the photographer must of necessity impose greater control upon the model.' Quote from Anon feature in The Naturist, February 1942, pp. 48-49. Photographs available on request. All books dispatched same or next working day in robust packaging.

Accompanying this item is a piece of paper with the following note in a mid-twentieth-century hand: 'Interesting because of the very rare signature of Everard Peck, pioneer printer Father of Wm. F. Peck'. He was a bookbinder from Connecticut who moved to Rochester around 1816 and opened a bookstore. He moved into printing and publishing, founded the successful weekly "Telegraph" newspaper and later became a banker. He was a generous benefactor of the early city, co-founding the University of Rochester and the Rochester Orphan Asylum and becoming a leader in the Female Charitable Society. He was a member of the Pioneer Society of Rochester and Western N. Y., founded on September 30th 1847 at the Blossom Hotel in Rochester. Membership was open to local residents who had lived in the area since before 1825. The Peck family papers are in the University of Rochester. See Griffith's obituary in the New York Times, 26 November 1872. 2pp, folio. Fifty-two lines of text, with some underlining in red. In a worn leaf and discoloured leaf of paper, with chipping and closed tears to edges, but no loss of text. Folded twice into packet, docketed: 'Walter S. Griffith / to / Lewis Setze / Arbitration Bond'. Signed by 'Walter S. Griffith' and witnessed by 'E. Peck'. Begins: 'Know all men by these Presents, that I, Walter S. Griffith, of the City of Rochester in the County of Monroe and State of New York, am held and firmly bound unto Lewis Selze of the same place, in the sum of ten thousand dollars, lawful money of the United States of America'. Sets out that 'disputes and differences have arisen' between Griffith and Selze with regard to 'certain improvements and expenditures' made to 'a certain piece or tract of land lying in the City of Rochester, at and above the high falls of the Genesee River', purchased by them from William W. Mumford. Griffith agrees to accept whatever award is made by the arbitrators Vincent Mathews and Ashley Samson.
