Contemplating Weston's Nudes

Gelatin-silver photograph on Agfa Classic MCC111 FB VC , image area 19.3cmX24.4cm, from a Tmax100 4x5 negative exposed in a Tachihara 45GF camera fitted with a Schneider Super-Angulon 121mm f8 lens. The book is open at a page featuring a reproduction of Edward Weston's photograph "Dancing Nude, 1927" featuring Bertha Wardell, a Los Angeles dancer.

One could always do worse than contemplate Weston's nudes — or any of Weston's works for that matter.

Why do I think that these people are Europeans?
