Nudist Camp Follies - Volume I

Skin, sun, and incredible curves – this nostalgic look at naturism in 1950s Britain is illustrated with rare photographs by Stephen Glass. Take an enthralling trip down mammary lane, where the problems of modern life were set aside in the seclusion of a naturist resort.

Many of the featured pictures were taken just outside London, between Watford and St. Albans, where there are four nudist camps, all of which have proved popular with photographers over the years. The book features well-known models such as Pamela Green and Lee Sothern.

Author Biography

Stephen Glass was born in Hungary to Jewish parents, and like his brother, with whom he shared a studio in London, he made a career as a photographer. In the 1940s and ’50s, he specialised in photographing nudes for such magazines as Health and Efficiency and The Naturist. The models, June Palmer and Pamela Green both posed for him, and he frequently used Spielplatz nudist camp in Bricket Wood as a location.
