Bertolotti 18 f. Heidtmann 11120. – Einzige Ausgabe des seltenen Vorlagenwerks. In ähnlicher Ausstattung erschien ein Jahr vorher „Die Gestalt des Menschen und ihre Schönheit“. – „The nudes by the Viennese photographer Otto Schmidt are generally more realistic. Schmidt had started out by photographing typical members of the Viennese population in professional dress or folk costumes as „genres photos“ intended primarily for tourists. Later he began to produce photographs of nudes, no dought because these were more profitable. The elegance of his compositions and the quality of his printing were particularly admired in pictorialist circles. These mannered refined compositions by Schneider and Schmidt set in the midst of virgin nature were still arteficial, imaginary constructions of an illusory world, made by dreams and far from reality. The theorists of the budding naturist movement published them for a while in their magazines, but soon rejected them and replaced them with more natural, spontaneous nudes“ (A. Bertolotti). – Deckel etwas fleckig und berieben, hinteres Gelenk am Kapital etwas eingerissen, Klammern rostig, noch gutes Exemplar.
