International Nudist Sun

  • saddle-stapled color illustrated wraps
  • Baltimore: Central Sales, 1964

Issue no. 1 of a nudist magazine consisting substantially of plates reproducing artsy black-and-white photos of muscular young White men taking sporty poses solo, in pairs and in one shot in a group of three — all in natural settings. Two photos feature a man and a woman.

International Nudist Sun is the U.S. edition of a Danish magazine, International Men, produced by Nordisk Bladcentral, with the first page of the former indicating "Copyright 1964 by N.B., Copenhagen" and with both identified as printed by the same firm in Denmark.

Exclusively publishing male nudes was unusual for conventional nudist magazines of the era — and even more so for nudist periodicals distributed in the U.S. As with other Nordisk Bladcentral titles, the scarcely coded target market of the magazine is homosexual men.

CONDITION: Wraps somewhat worn; price overprinted in black on front wrap; rubbing along spine fold; small dent to outside upper corner; diagonal crease (6 cm) to outside lower corner of front wrap and initial leaves.

NOTE: Photo masked for public posting. Unmasked photo upon request.
