ISBN: 9780684822662 - First Edition - Hardcover - Simon & Schuster, New York, NY, U.S.A. - 1996 - Condition: Fine - Near Fine - UNMENTIONABLES traces the history of underwear from its earliest appearance around the frozen loins of a 5,300 year-old Tyrolean iceman to its up-to-the-minute status as fashion's new outerwear. Using fine art, photography, film stills, cartoons, and advertisements to tell the story visually, Elaine Benson also goes on to describe the social history and psychological underpinnings of a subject that holds an incomparably powerful fascination for all of us. Tying the images and text together is the extraordinary design of John Esten, who manages to show the subject's unexpected connections and the contradictions between past and present, fantasy and real life. Fine, in near-fine (1/2" tear repaired inside jacket at rear spine top), in fine, mylar-protected dust jacket. - A Brief History of Underwear: UNMENTIONABLES.
