1930s Britain was a hotbed of utopian ideals in which William Welby, an advertising manager, was drawn to the burgeoning nudist movement.
Welby’s quest for understanding culminated in the landmark publication Naked and Unashamed, a groundbreaking exploration of nudism by a British author, the success of which encouraged him to write two more seminal books on the subject: The Naked Truth about Nudism and It’s Only Natural.
All three books offer a fascinating insight into aspects of British society and culture before the upheavals of World War II and the dramatic changes that followed.
This volume has a foreword by Brian Curragh, archivist at British Naturism.

Circa l’autore
Stephen Glass was the lesser known brother of the photographer Zoltán Glass. He was born in Hungary to Jewish parents, and like his brother, with whom he shared a studio in London, he made a career as a photographer. In the 1940s and 50s, he specialised in photographing nudes for such magazines as Health and Efficiency and The Naturist. The models, June Palmer and Pamela Green posed for him, and he frequently used Spielplatz nudist camp in Bricket Wood as a location.
