Another Great Auction
This lot comprises an assortment of vintage magazine pages and clippings, specifically identified as originating from the British publication Health & Efficiency Fortnightly. The collection contains both black and white and colour offset lithographic prints featuring artistic nude photography and adult content, representative of the mid-century naturist and sun-seeking movements. The subjects are depicted in various poses, including outdoor natural settings and a tiled shower interior.
One page features a partial masthead with a large red logo for H&E Fortnightly and the word Fortnightly underneath. A printed price of 2/6 (two shillings and sixpence) is visible in a yellow circle, which signifies a pre-decimalisation UK origin, dating the material to approximately the 1950s or early 1960s. The clippings include fragments of editorial text relating to photography practice. Several of the photographs have been modified with white rectangular blocks placed over the subjects.
