Vintage 1973 Playboy Press “Woman by 10” First Edition | Rare Erotic Art

A striking and increasingly scarce piece from the golden age of Playboy Press publishing - Woman by 10, a true collector's edition from 1973, celebrating feminine beauty through the lens of ten internationally acclaimed master photographers.


This first edition volume is far beyond a standard vintage book-it is a curated gallery of visual storytelling, featuring more than 140 provocative and sensual images, many in full color, selected from the portfolios of some of the most respected names in contemporary photography:


* Guido Mangold

* Christian Vogt

* Francis Giacobetti

* Tassilo Trost

* David Hamilton

* Kishin Shinoyama

* Jeanloup Sieff

* Jean-François Jonvelle

* Guy Bourdin

* Hans Feurer


Published simultaneously in the United States and Canada by Playboy Press, this book captures the unmistakable sophistication of 1970s editorial photography-elegant, artistic, and unapologetically collectible.


For serious collectors of vintage erotica, fine art photography, Playboy Press publications, and rare first editions, this is the kind of shelf piece that quietly commands attention.

Collector Appeal


This title stands apart because of the photographer lineup alone-featuring internationally recognized artists whose individual works are collected independently.


Books like this are often broken apart for individual plates or disappear into private collections. Finding a complete, well-kept example with strong presentation is becoming increasingly difficult.


This is not simply vintage Playboy-it is photographic art history in print.
