Description: "Dian Hanson's THE HISTORY OF GIRLY MAGAZINES" published by Taschen 2006 first edition first printing. Featuring pin-ups from the 19th century to the 1960s. Beginning about the turn of the last century, ca. 1900,men’s magazines, nudie books, or girly magazines, this long-ignored art form has a rich international history. Author Dian Hanson, a girly magazine editor for 25 years, follows the evolution of the genre from 19th century France through the Jazz Age, two world wars, the breast-centric 1950s to the end of the swinging 60s. Along the way you’ll see hundreds of vintage magazines from Argentina, England, France, Germany, Mexico, and the US. Some covers are exquisitely painted by top pin-up artists Enoch Bolles, George Quintana, Earl Moran, and Peter Driben. Others are posed by Hollywood stars like Jane Mansfield, Tina Louise, and Marilyn Monroe. All are fascinating artifacts of their time, including La Vie Parisienne, the first men’s lifestyle magazine from 1900; jazz-infused Sex magazine from 1926; legendary fetish digest Bizarre from 1949; Hugh Hefner’s Playboy from 1953; up to hippie-inspired Nude Rebellion from 1967. Many of these magazines have been destroyed by the right and left censorship fanatics. In 33 chapters and 676 pages you’ll see these and many, many more, accompanied by a fact-filled, informative text sure to give you a new appreciation for the magazines once kept hidden under the mattress and once again hidden away from woke eyes.About the Author:Dian Hanson is a twenty-five-year veteran of men’s magazine publishing.
