This is a glimpse through the keyhole of history. From the earliest
nude daguerrotypes to experimental nude photography. The history of
nude photography is the history of people's fascination with the
topic. Indeed, the photographic depiction of the human body is the
only subject that has enthralled photographers, theoreticians and
consumers over such a long period - more than 150 years. No other
motifis as prevalent as this one during all the phases of
development comprising the history of photography. no other is
present. whatever the technique, and is a subject of discussion
within the context of nearly all aesthetic movements. Nor has any
other pictorial topic produced such a variety of specialities as
the nude: from the ethnological interpretation of the body to the
glamour shot, from nudist photography to the pin-up of today. No
other photographic field of application has inspired as much desire
as it has awakened official wrath. 1000 Nudes offers a
cross-section of the history of nude photography, ranging from the
earliest nude daguerrotypes and ethnographic nude photographs to
experimental nude photography. The period of time spanned by this
work is from 1839 to roughly 1939, from the medium's infancy to the
end of the classic modernist period. Content-wise, the book pays
tribute to the full range of pictorial approaches, from the
manually elaborated artistic nudes of the turn of the century,
enveloped in layers of theory. to the "obscene" postcard motifs
which had not the slightest artistic pretension and were intended
to exert a maximum effect on the buyer's wallet. All the pictures
shown are taken from the late Uwe Scheid's collection, which was
one of the world's largest and most important collections of erotic
photography.

Leidenschaft an und beschert ihnen in seinem Schuppen ein Feuerwerk
der Fantasien. Gleichzeitig versucht er, die mit den bizarren
Gelusten einhergehenden Angste der Frauen zu bekampfen, denn beide

Schattenbereiche
