Well
Go in the site and look at the work of one of their most prolific photographers Jacques Bourboulon There are several sets there from his early days including nudes of Eva Ionesco when she was 14.
A short bio of him is below, but even more interesting is this interview with another of met Arts main photographers

That isn't even counting the fact they feature David Hamiltons work who is infamous for his huge portfolio of erotic photos of teens and preteens

Again..perhaps legal, most definately in much of Europe where it is common to see naked children under 18 in mainstream films in sexual situations, but in my opinion a dangerous risk for a US adult webmaster in todays climate.

As far as their disclaimer that all their models are over 18 at the time of the shoot...I really do not trust that claim when immediately after the disclaimer they continue that they are exempt from keeping any records proving the girls are of age.

Jacques Bourboulon is very representative of a time when the image of nude young girls was much more acceptable than today. Bourboulon was in no way an underground photograph, and his pictures were widely distributed in books or displayed in mainstream magazines such as Photo.

The result is that Jacques Bourboulon is no longer mainstream but that his pictures and books are actively traded among amateurs on the web.
