He was best known for publishing books and magazines on erotica and art and for his conviction in 1963 for violating federal obscenity laws. Ginzburg's most famous publication, Eros, a magazine of classy erotica, was launched in 1962, and only four issues were published before he was indicted on charges of violating federal obscenity laws and had to stop publishing He was found guilty by the Supreme Court eventually and sentenced to five years in prison. He was released after eight months. Herbert F. Lubalin (March 17, 1918 May 24, 1981) was a graphic designer. He collaborated with Ralph Ginzburg on three of Ginzburg's magazines: Eros, Fact, and Avant Garde. In Lubalin's studio, he worked on a number of wide-ranging projects, from poster and magazine design to packaging and identity solutions. It was here that he became best known for his work on a series of magazines published by Ralph Ginzburg: Eros, Fact, and Avant Garde. Bertram Stern (October 3, 1929 June 26, 2013) was an American commercial photographer. His father worked as a children's portrait photographer. He became art director at Flair magazine, where Stern learned how to develop film and make contact sheets, and started taking his own pictures. In 1951, Stern was drafted into the United States Army, sent to Japan and assigned to the photographic department. He was one of the last photographers to shoot Marilyn Monroe, in June and July 1962 for Vogue magazine. (with some images authorized to be published in EROS). Monroe died in August 1962. These sessions became known as The Last Sitting; The 2571 photographs taken on these sessions were published after her death in The Complete Last Sitting in 1992. By the late 1970s, Stern returned to the U.S. to photograph portraits and fashion. Eros was an American quarterly political and literary magazine that published only four volumes in 1962. Eros (four issues, Spring 1962 to 1963) devoted itself to the beauty of the rising sense of sexuality and experimentation, particularly in the burgeoning counterculture. It was a quality production with no advertising, and the large format (13 by 10 inches) made it look like a book rather than a quarterly magazine. It was printed on varying papers and the editorial design was some of the greatest that Lubalin ever did. It quickly folded after an obscenity case brought by the US Postal Service. The New York Times described Eros as a "stunningly designed hardcover 'magbook'," covering "a wide swath of sexuality in history, politics, art and literature." The magazine was the first product of Ralph Ginzburg and Herb Lubalin who later created two other influential magazines, namely Fact and Avant Garde. The first issue of the magazine appeared in Spring 1962. Ralph Ginzburg was the editor and Herb Lubalin was the art director of Eros which came out quarterly. The focus of the magazine was on love and sex during the dawning of the Sexual Revolution. It also covered articles on politics, arts and literature. The third (Autumn, 1962) of a total of 4 issues of the magazine published featured the photographs of Marilyn Monroe just before her death which caused an obscenity lawsuit against Ginzburg by then U.S. Attorney General, Robert Kennedy. The reason for the lawsuit was the claim that the magazine had violated federal anti-obscenity laws. Ginzburg was convicted and sentenced to five years in prison, but he remained in prison for eight months. Following this incident the magazine was closed down.
