‎London/Paris: 1896. Rare women's sex manual of the "naughty 'nineties" Octavo. Original plain wrappers with original glassine bearing printed titles in blue to spine and front. Printed on handmade paper. Patterned border to each page in red. Glassine generally a little worn at extremities with a split superficially to glassine not to wrappers down rear joint and some loss to spine ends internally clean good condition for this rare survival. An early edition of this exceptionally rare and remarkably obscene women's guide to all matters pertaining to sexual pleasure the avoidance of pregnancy and the simulation of virginity. Editions of Love and Safety were still being printed in the 1960s but this is a truly rare early edition with no copies traced in institutional or auction records. The British Library and Bibliotheque Nationale hold the only two institutional copies of an 1898 edition published by Leonard Smithers's Erotika Biblion Society but this edition precedes by two years. One copy of an 1885 edition printed in Paris "the Modern Babylon" in a private edition of 100 copies is recorded as appearing at auction in 2009 that copy extra-illustrated with erotic photographs selling for $3600. Appendices A and B in this edition treat respectively of aphrodisiac recipes and urolagnia and C has a long and intriguing "catalogue of rare curious and voluptuous reading" giving an insight into the erotic and practical books available to the anglophone reader of the "naughty 'nineties". This copy comes from the collection of legendary book collector and rock & roll guitarist Martin Stone with his pencil notes to front free endpaper. [London/Paris?:] unknown‎

‎THREE CHINESE EROTIC HAND-PAINTED PORCEAIN TILE PANELS.‎

‎China n.d. ca 1920. A set of three hand-painted color porcelain tiles each is ca. 10.3 x 25.8 cm. very clean excellent condition erotic color paintings. RARE UNIQUE ! . STYLE: These are done in the "Southern" style in a semi-tropical setting common of Fujian Guandong and Guanxi provinces during the turn-of-the century perhaps about 1900-1920's by stylistic analysis. The semi-tropical plants place the setting in the south-eastern part of China. They were most likely used in a scholar's private garden decorating a private room or alcove specially used for love-making on a lazy afternoon. . THE EROTIC SUBJECT PAINTED ON THE PORCELAIN TILES: The First: This shows a lovely scene along the river in the background with a weeping willow tree in the garden. The couple are on a garden bench making love. The girl mounts her lover side- ways. She is clothed in a silk chest vest he wears nothing else. She has her "golden lotus" bound feet lifted off the ground for deeper penetration. The "loving couple" show pleasant faces as she clutches her hands with her arms holding him fast. He gropes her buttock for more control. The second: Shows the "loving couple" in a pavilion with the garden adjacent. She sits on the bed with her chartreuse robe under her fully naked body. He stands and leans his penis into her while she pulls him close with her arms. She wraps her left leg around him while touching his side with her right "golden lotus" bound foot. Both her "golden lotus" bound feet are visible. She kisses his left cheek in a passionate embrace. There are stairs leading up to the scholar's private room for love-making with a nice "scholar's rock" in the foreground. The third: The "loving couple" are in the garden with a circular gateway in the background along with a banana tree. The "loving couple" are engaged in love-making. She leans her left arm and leg against a porcelain stool while opening her legs giving him and easy entrance. He is on his knees inserting his penis into her. The couple are naked she is voluptuous with large breasts and looks as his "jade stick" with fascination He observes her "jade gate" while inserting his manhood into her. Her left "golden lotus" bound foot is visible. His pair of padded black shoes and a silk gown are on the grass with a lovely "scholar rock" in the foreground. . CHINESE FETISH OF BINDING WOMEN'S FEET: This is fetish is over 1000 years old in China and was abolished in 1948 with the communist take over of China. . THE TECHNIQUE: Skillfully painted with a delicate hand lovely and excellent colors unsigned as usual. . CONDITION: The three tiles are in excellent condition a very tiny chip to the upper right corner of tile #3 else no defects. The verso backs are with the usual minor soil otherwise nothing to mention. . REFERENCES: Please check with us about availability of the below books many of which may be in stock .

‎JAPANESE EROTIC WOODCUT ALBUM.‎

‎EROTIC MINIATURE WOODCUT ALBUM WITH TWENTY-FOUR COLOR PRINTS FROM THE 19TH CENTU‎

‎Japan n.d. ca.1830-1880'S. Green brocade silk covers all edges gilt accordion foldedvery clean & bright copy small nick to bottom edge else excellent contents bright 24 color woodblock prints 12.5 x 9.3 cm.in cloth Chitsu case. . . . A MOST SUPERB EROTIC EXAMPLE . . . COLOR WOODBLOCK PRINTED ALBUM . . CONTENTS The album contains two miniature polychrome woodcut print series. Each print is well executed with excellent registry and color care was taken to print them with the utmost quality and attention. This is not one of those quickly produced items lacking quality or refinement. Each print and series is a miniature work of erotic Ukiyo-e art. . The first series of prints are located on the verso or front pages of the album and consist of twelve prints. They show people from Edo period 1604-1868 and clearly from about 1840'S or so. Their hair style and Kimono fashion are of those times. The are done in the colors from that period and appear to have oxidation commensurate with about 140 years or so ago that would put their printing date at around 1868. in the Meiji era. There is very little background text at all but there are cartouches in several. Each print is clean and in excellent condition flawless. . The second series found on the recto or back side of the album and consists of twelve prints in all. The first three have a most unique and stunning silver background six with beige and 3 with indigo or "Aizuri" backgrounds. Each print is uniform within a circular cartouche for the most part and each print is exceptionally clean without flaw. . The work reflects people of the late Edo or early Meiji 1868-1912 period printed about 1869-1870's. . Number 2 shows a man with a huge phallus his hand caressing her vagina. . Number 3 shows the couple fully engaged in love making she is on top. . Number 4 shows the man on top while she locks her arms aroun him in an erotic embrace. . Number 5 is fascinating and RARE ! It shows a silken cord tied around his penis and she holds the cord so she can control its action. This sort of sexual "toy" is rarely shown in Japanese "Shunga" erotic prints. . Number 6 shows a male Buddhist priest or monk. He is fully engaged in licking his lover's vulva as she sucks his erect penis. . COMMENTARIES: The work begins with a couple about to make love he licks two fingers in readiness to insert his huge penis into her vulva she says "Its embarrassing to become like this." . He answers: "Why I am entering." She covers her mouth with here Kimono sleeve in shyness. She says: "Ready to put it in her mouth glug glug." He says "Its coming out to no end of joy." . Numbers 7-12 show couples engaged in love-making all with fascinating and very legible comments."Hayaku soko.iku ."Hurry right there I'm coming" and the like. . There is lots of "Chirishi" hand-made Washi toilet paper strewn around indicating lots of love-making and love juices freely flowing. This is a common erotic symbol and theme often found in Shunga. . RARITY: The work is RARE ! During our tenure of over fifty years we have seldom found Shunpon erotic woodcut books in such excellent and complete condition. . There are a number of very unique and unusual images found in this remarkable erotic album. . The work was clearly kept in the best of condition by some meticulous Japanese collector. Because the album consists of two distinct groups of similar period prints we can only assume it to be the property of a discreet collector from the period. The album's old silk covers and paper matches the print period. . THE GENRE OF JAPANESE EROTICA: This kind of book was banned from being published by the Tokugawa Shogunate. Also banned by the Meiji and Taisho governments. . Erotic woodblock prints "Shunga" & Shumpon erotic woodcut books were secretly drawn carved printed and published "underground." . It was an offence punishment was imprisonment and severe. All publishers had to submit their proposed publications to the government for the "Kiwame" or "Censor's seal" of approval. That "Kiwame" seal was carved into the block as visual proof of sanction. . The fact that all Japanese erotic works completely lacked official approval caused these kinds of books to be sold via a "black market." It is not surprising artists never signed their real name but commonly either did not sign or signed some laughable or ironic false name. . Regardless of any lack of meaningful signature many art historians and students of Japanese woodblock art can identify with an 'educated guess' the school style or the artist by stylistic analysis. Usually this was a giveaway ! . Many famous Ukiyo-e artists disliked being controlled by the government they continued to produce erotic prints and books for 'underground' publication regardless of the law as a means to supplement their meager income. . CONDITION & BINDING: The album is contained in an indigo-blue cloth Chitsu folding case ivory clasps and blank cover title slip. There is some of the old and usual minor fading to the Chitsu cloth. The overall size is 18 x 23.5 cm. . THE SILK COVERS: The green brocade-silk covered album is stunningly clean and bright. There is a small minor nick to the lower edge this does not encroach into the pages. . The album paper is very heavy bright clean and white with no foxing whatsoever. The 24 miniature woodcut prints are held in place by black paper mounting corners they can be removed at will and are not laid down. . Each color miniature woodblock print is exceptionally clean and bright with excellent color and registry. A couple have been restored mending a few old tiny worm holes. These are of minimal impact and are barely noticeable. The work is quite firm and solid. Our habit is to be a bit over critical about condition by and large this is an excellent item in aspects.

The first two are slightly discoloredthe last one is clean. . . . THREE ORIGINAL COLOR WOODBLOCK EROTIC PRINTS . . . The first two prints are from what is probably the same erotic book Shunpon both show a couple engaged in love-making. Each has text and comments of the lovers while engaged in love-making. . One pair of pages are re-backed the other not they are from about the 1830-40's. . The third item is newer and quite clean. It shows a couple under a Kimono while the man caresses her vagina.

The genitals are shown where engaged. 5. Two girls prepare to engage in love-making. They are both on a sofa one reclines holds a bronze mirror while the other girl holds her lover's right leg up. Both share looking into the mirror to see the erotic scene some mild discoloration on her hip & face. 6. Shows a couple in the garden while the girl rests her face on her arm on a rock bending over exposing her posterior while her lover enters from the rear and holds her fast. 7. A couple are seated the man first then the woman sits upon his lap as she holds up one knee for deep penetration. 8.

He turns his head towards her he is accompanied by a young servant- girl who carries his lute as he passes with his fan and gives her a good look. 15. The last is a view of the male-scholar as he sits at his desk and books while looking out a large round window at the girl. She is wearing a lovely saffron robe likely exposing her posterior to him in an inviting sexy stance. All of these lovely paintings show the most pleasant and joyful expressions on the face and especially in the eyes and lips. Books of this subject style are vintage are scarce. The Chinese had a very naturalistic view and open attitude toward sex during this period. Love-making and erotic scenes of this subject were drawn in the most natural ways. People are shown with very pleasant "Yin & Yang" looks between men and women and the act of "Clouds & Rain" love-making are done with pleasant and enjoyable expressions BINDING: The work is period bound and mounted with silk each painting is on silk. The accordion folded book is bound in hard-wood covers. Nicely executed mounted & bound in the traditional Chinese style. On the opposite pages to the paintings is a lovely hand-made gold-flecked Chinese papery. A wonderful example of the best of Chinese painting and bookbinding art form. . unknown‎
