1920s English Naturist / Nudist Luxury Holiday Manor Brochure.

An interesting booklet promoting the “Manor House” Club, “Luxury Holiday 
Club for the Naturist - Naturism in perfect comfort”, at Clifford Manor, 
“near Newent”, Gloucestershire. The club’s amenities included bedrooms 
“fitted with hot and cold running water”, a ballroom/game room, small 
library, and “the whole house is centrally heated which makes indoor 
nudism possible throughout the year”. The club also provided a separate 
area for children with toys and “staff available to supervise”. For 
guests who felt like doing more than sunbathing, there were formal 
gardens to roam, a tennis court, outdoor pool, “facilities for 
badminton, tenniquoits and other outdoor sports”, and a “lovely 
surrounding countryside provides ideal walks”. The only possible 
downside is this bit of bad news for the pet-loving naturist- “We regret 
that we find it impossible to allow guests to bring dogs”. The less said 
about that the better. Perhaps unsurprisingly the full membership rate 
for gentlemen was 3 guineas, but for “single ladies” it was one guinea. 
With- a single sheet insert offering the “Club Taxi” for those wishing 
to to be picked up at the train station or not to walk to town.

Booklet. 8”x5”, 10 pages, black & white illustrations, plus a single 
sheet insert. Minor wear, light soil, folded. [44154]  $125
