The fig leaf

Description:	While I was in Italy, I became curious about the use of the fig leaf, so I created this first book about its history in art.Text: The fig leaves that we see on Greek and Roman torsos were added to them after the Council of Trent and a 1557 edict from Pope Paul IV. Having been firmly attached to these existing sculptures, they continue to cling to them to this very day. --Vamp & Tramp Booksellers website (accessed August 20, 2018).Accordion book (8 panels ; 98 x 76 mm. extends to 98 x 555 mm.) with gray museum board covers printed on one side.
