This quartet are all complete, original, USA publications from 1963 – issues February, July, August and September. Founded by the flamboyant and notorious Hugh Hefner in 1953, by 1964 Playboy was firmly established as a successful monthly publication, exceeding two million copies each and every month. These issues all feature fantastic period advertising and graphic design, vivid photography and colourful illustrations. Playboy also attracted fiction and non-fiction from many highly esteemed writers in its magazines from Roald Dahl, James Baldwin, Jack Kerouac, Ian Fleming and PG Wodehouse. There are of course centrefolds featuring topless and nude models but it should be said, that during this period, they are very tame and tasteful.
