In the 1920s and 1930s, H&E became an early champion of the emerging naturist movement, publishing letters, articles, and photos from sun clubs and nudist advocates. By the early 1930s, naturism became its main focus, and the magazine grew to be known as the "nudist bible" throughout the 1950s and 1960s.
