VINTAGE FETISH: IRVING KLAW
Books published by and about Irving Klaw, whose imprint ‘Nutrix’ began selling digest-sized fetish books in the late 1950s, featuring illustrations by some of the best fetish artists in the business (Eric Stanton, Gene Bilbrew, Ruiz, Jim, and many others). Klaw also produced similar books using bondage photographs instead of illustrations.
