The history of the Pirelli Calendar can be divided into three different eras:

- The first decade, from 1964 to ’74, which was followed by a break in publication (for nine years) due to the world recession sparked by the Yom Kippur war and the oil crisis.

- The second decade, from ’84 to ’94, which saw the Calendar being relaunched and becoming progressively more successful.

- From 1994 to the present, spanning the turn of the millennium, during which time “The Cal”™ has achieved cult status as a trailblazer.

This book covers the first 25 years, combining some of the worlds top photographers, known and unknown International models and some of the most stunning locations on earth.

Bursting with incredible colour and black and white photography, designed to celebrate the beauty of the female form and present photography as a worthy art platform.
