Description from the seller

Released in 1992, "Mistress" is a stunning monograph that showcases Jonvelle’s unique ability to capture women in moments of private, unposed beauty. Known for his philosophy that "the woman must not know she is being photographed," Jonvelle created images that feel like quiet, shared secrets.
This Japanese edition is highly regarded for its superior printing quality, which perfectly preserves the soft lighting and grain of his original film work.

Key Features for Collectors
Aesthetic Style: The book features a mix of monochrome and muted color plates. It avoids the clinical nature of commercial photography in favor of a warm, voyeuristic, and cinematic feel.

Japanese Treville Edition: Treville was a legendary publisher for art collectors in the 90s, focusing on the intersection of European erotica and fine art. Their editions are known for heavy paper stock and deep ink density.

Cultural Legacy: Jonvelle is often compared to masters like Paolo Roversi or Sarah Moon. This specific title is a quintessential example of the "French Touch" in 20th-century erotic photography.

Size: 31 x 24.3 x 1.5 cm
Weight: 1,150 grams
