Histoire et philosophie du strip-tease : Essai sur l' érotisme au music-hall is a book on striptease by François des Aulnoyes, with a foreword by Edmond Heuzé and photographs by Roland Carré, published by Pensée Moderne in 1957.
The title literally translates into English as History and philosophy of striptease, essay on eroticism in the music hall.
Theoretically the book very briefly invokes Lucien Lévy-Bruhl, Émile Durkheim, Vilfredo Pareto and Freud, these are the only sources mentioned. Its historic overview also mentions Janine Jan and Anne Bruneau as 19th century predecessors to French striptease.
The photographic part of this volume is much more interesting. The French edition features a cover illustrated with a photo of Huguette Delorme.
