The Male Nude On Stamps

Over the past thirty years the male nude has become an increasingly popular icon in photo books, magazines, films, advertising, arts and culture. Here, editor and stamp collector Volker Janssen reveals the male nude in one of its lesser known formats, gracing the decoration of stamps from around the world. All images taken from fine arts, sport and history, this unparalleled sampling from Janssen's own private collection proves that stamps are not just for stamp collectors anymore! In full-colour throughout.
