The cult of nudism started in Germany with the creation of Paul Zimmermann's Freilichtpark in 1903 followed by the publication of Hans Surén's Der Mensch und die Sonne in 1924, translated into English in 1928. The Sun Bathing Society was founded by N.F.Barford in the late 1920s with the opening of Sun Lodge in Upper Norwood in 1929, favouring minimal clothing, and later the Yew Tree Club near Croydon, which became completely nudist. The 1930s was a golden age for British nudists and a letter to The Times on 18th March 1932 advocating the advantages of minimal clothing for exercise and health was signed by many notable figures, including Vera Brittain, A.E.Coppard, Robert Gibbings, Winifred Holtby, Julian Huxley, Naomi Mitchison and G.B.Shaw. Robert Gibbings was a strong supporter of nudism, having visited a camp in Germany during the 1920s. Sun Bathing Review includes many contributions by Gibbings: the wood-engraving Sunbathers on the upper cover of the first four issues; full-page wood-engraving The Bather on p.7 of Winter 1933 issue; articles in issues Winter 1933 'A garment for sunbathing' & advertisement for the sale of his house Four Elms at Waltham St.Lawrence "a unique sun bathing property" with stone carving by Eric Gill and "two acres of secluded orchard" with swimming pool, Summer 1939 'Rock Pool' and Spring 1940 'Paradise Lost' by "W.St.Lawrence"; and 'An Appreciation of Robert Gibbings' by A[lan] R.W[arwick] in Spring 1958 issue. The last ends with a quotation by Gibbings, " Nudism is now an accepted fact, and needs no further apology or justification…Let sun bathing, therefore, be the doorway to wider horizons and to something more than an egotistical interest in one's own body."
