John Everard was a British photographer, noted for his studies of nude models. This book is a collection of hundreds of photographs of nudes and nearly nudes, each page showing one position from different angles. It also features hands, athletes, muscle men etc, ostensibly to provide the artist with a reference for how bodies look... though of course some of the more intimate details have been erased from the original photographs as was common at the time.
