Abstract

‘If prudery be rampant let there be naked bathing in parks. If wantonness be rampant let such things be restricted. But prudes cannot decide who are wantons, nor can wantons decide who are prudes.’ So Gill expounds in his 16-page essay on the nude, his ‘God’s seal upon the goodness of the body’, both male and female. It was printed in 1931 at The Golden Cockerel Press and contains four engravings by Gill.
