From bloomers to bikinis: sexy photos since the early days of photography (TASCHEN's 25th anniversary special edition) Mark Rotenberg was inspired to begin collecting lost and forgotten erotic photographs after he stumbled upon over a thousand very graphic vintage photos in a dumpster in Brooklyn. His collection now tops out at about 95,000 photos covering the period from 1860 to 1960. This special 25th anniversary edition draws highlights from Rotenberg's collection of crazy hardcore photographs that would make your grandmother squirm. How odd it is to see ladies in bloomers and corsets with men sporting handlebar moustaches, transfixed in the raunchiest of positions!

This review is from: Forbidden Erotica (Taschen 25) (Hardcover)
I bought the full size of this book several years with a different cover picture i thought this one was a different book but it is the same book only smaller with a different cover. The first of the book has really old pictures some in a collage which are really small. The later part which doesnt have enough of the 1940s,50s or 60s is lacking. If you dont think you already have this the price is great but this was released with a different cover years ago be warned i wish i was.

Absolutely Wonderful,

From seeing this book, I'm now a lover of antique erotica. I've seen some stuff from the past and the quality was not good, but the photos in this book are absolutely wonderful, sexy, and for the most part in great condition. I was definitely surprised by the condition of the photographs!The content is also excellent in that it shows a variety of sexual positions, bodies, races and sexualities. I also liked the whimsical photos that were included like the food scenes, golden showers and "masked" lovers! I also found it interesting that most of the subjects project a really happy, fun attitude about being sexual and being photographed. This aspect was so refreshing to see as today we mostly get that dumb, "pouty" vacant look from models which drives me up the wall! I highly recommend this book for any collection on erotica.

Nice book, although I suspect some of the 'old' photos are not so old...the film quality is just too high, still, a great book.
