Model and Nude Pin-Up (5 vintage pin-up magazines bound together, 1956-58)

Various cities: Various Publishers, 1956-59. Five vintage model & nude pin-up magazines featuring figure studies by top photographers, often a prolific model/celebrity woman, aimed at advancing techniques in the field of photographing the female form, likely newsstand worthy, above-the-counter. These early photography magazines were mass produced on pulp, mostly B/W photography, album-style layouts.

Primitively but solidly bound together at the spines, w/ blank paper spine, wrapper & endpapers; uniformly trimmed & page edges dyed. Presumably made by amateur binder or hobbyist, perhaps collected for certain authors/models/artists.
