Eros n°1 (Spring 1962)

Eros was an American quarterly magazine which only ran four issues in 1962. It was dedicated to the subjects of eroticism and love but showcased contemporary art, fashion, music, theater and literature. The magazine was a hard-cover and its artistic direction was run by Herb Lubalin, one of the most important graphic designers of the 20th century. EROS was very controversial as it showcased taboo subjects in American society and had a satirical take on contemporary political issues.

This is the first issue of Eros magazine, with a cover featuring a King of Spades playing card. This edition introduces the taboo nature of the magazine without compromise. The first article features an article on Love in the Bible, followed by a photo spread of French Actress Brigide Bardot and images of erotic artworks.
