This substantial edition of Knave represents a classic era of British adult entertainment during the late seventies when the publication was at the height of its popularity and cultural influence. As a special issue containing two hundred and ninety two pages it offers an expansive collection of provocative pictorials and stimulating fiction that define the aesthetic of the period.

The cover features a brunette model in a red varsity jacket posing with ice cream cones against a slatted backdrop capturing the cheeky and playful spirit for which the title was known. Beyond the photographic content the magazine includes its trademark intimate queries and first person tales of love and sex providing a fascinating sociological look at the era of sexual liberation in the United Kingdom.

This specific volume serves as a significant archive for collectors of vintage glamour and those interested in the history of independent British men magazines from the nineteen seventies. Its dense format and mix of arousing articles and editorial features ensure it remains a quintessential example of high quality adult publishing from a vanished age of newsstand culture.
