Elmer Batters (Milwaukee, 1919 – California, 1997) made his debut as a photographer in the late forties. His photographs appeared in adult magazines, a new kind of publication that caused an extraordinary stir in the publishing world in the fifties. Direct successors of the pin-up posters in vogue during the war, these publications contained photographs of scantly dressed or nude girls accompanied by racy articles. In the late fifties and early sixties, Batters began to publish his own magazines, which had titles as suggestive as Man’s Favorite Pastime, of which 5000 copies were sold, Sheer Delight, Leg-O-Rama, Nylon Doubletake or French Frills, and in which he did practically everything himself, both texts and photographs. by HeartOfGlass
