description: Presents the studio work of photographer Albert Arthur Allen, whose career, from 1916 to 1930, focused on female nudes. Daile Kaplan's introduction discusses Allen's legal difficulties with obscenity laws and bankruptcy, his concept of himself as an artist, and his pseudo-scientific "physical and character analysis" of his models. The main part of the volume is devoted to full-page reproductions of Allen's photographs. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
