Tony Grieger takes the photographic alphabet a step further with some abstraction. The full alphabet was first published in Menschenalphabete (Human Alphabets) by Fritz Franz Vogel. Here's Q:
The French painter Joseph Apoux created an alphabet in the 1880s of decorated capital letters that manages to offend both the general sense of decency and commit blasphemy at the same time. Here, in the C, a nun gives a blow job to a hooded, elderly monk holding a whip.
Peter Flötner's all-caps human alphabet of 1534 is the earliest example, with its classically nude figures (he later added briefs). There are only a few interactions, such as in the A, where two women kiss while holding each other's arms, or the H, which is a man and woman holding hands.
