"For a long time, Ed van der Elsken cherished the idea of making a book portraying naked people making love, giving birth and dying. Posthumously, Anthon Beeke, in collaboration with Anneke van der Elsken-Hilhorst, made a selection of Ed van der Elsken’s portraits of love. Not exclusively revolving around nude portraits, they seek to tell the story of love, tenderness, erotica, wariness, and surrender, ending with stunning images of pregnant women."
