Numbered 1-380 in order, but seems to be comprised of 16 page booklets here seamlessly bound into a single volume.

Each section contains black and white photographs of nude models, almost entirely women, but some men, some children, and some groups. Most are posed in studio (with props and backgrounds) but a few are outdoors. This is 'Tome 1' but there is no evidence that there was ever a Tome 2. Page 269/270 is detached but set in place. There is a single page of ads at the front, for other books by the same author - offering the 'Toutes les Femmes' series - Please email with questions or to request photos.…
