Roman-Tributiis, avocat; Carbonal, procureur
Plaidoyer pour le Sieur Paul-Elzeard Rancurel, bourgeois de la ville d'Aix, accuse d'impuissance, contre la dame Louise Serre, son epouse
A bizarre volume which defends a man whose wife, accusing him of impotence, wishes to have their marriage annulled. Rancurel's lawyers argue that he is not absolutely impotent, simply unable to perform with a virgin. Gay-Lemmonyer (III, 754) offers a lengthy account of this volume, describing it as "curieux et tres rare." 8vo. Contemporary quarter leather over decorated boards. Light wear to extremities. Internally fine.

Cole, William (Masafumi Yamamoto)
Hai-Ku. With two original engravings by Masafumi Yamamoto (haiku)
In 1980, shortly after taking up printmaking, Masafumi Yamamoto produced two absolutely astonishing erotic engravings of female nudes, still the only erotic works in his entire oeuvre. They are incredibly detailed and precise--yet extremely imaginative--burin engravings printed in relief (photos avalable on request). In 1981 he printed the editions and signed, dated, and justified the prints. Soon afterwards, Yamamoto adopted his well-known style of color intaglio printmaking. Since the erotic prints were so different, he abandoned them in a drawer of his flatfile for over two decades. Finally, in early 2005, the prints were published, each alongside erotic an erotic hai-ku by Cole, the publisher. EDITION LIMITED TO ONLY NINETEEN NUMBERED COPIES printed on thick, handmade wove paper WITH THE TWO SIGNED EROTIC PRINTS. Furthermore, there are three ornaments (including one on the cover), all of which are original etchings by Yamamoto. Large 4to. Loose as issued in original wraps. FINE AND BRIGHT. New.

Begon, Benard (Besnard), and Foulon (M. de Gesvres, Mlle de Mascranny)
Recueil general des pieces contenues au procez de monsieur le marquis de Gesvres et de mademoiselle de Mascranny, son epouse.
THE RARE FIRST EDITION OF THE MOST LURID AND FAMOUS IMPOTENCE CASE EVER HEARD BEFORE A COURT. While ostensibly intended for edification on the juridical aspects of impotence, this is in fact a thinly disguised bit of facetious erotica. The following year (1714) an English translation was printed. Blank leaf; 1 leaf; 336, 212, 36 pp. COMPLETE. 8vo. ATTRACTIVELY BOUND IN CONTEMPORARY CALF, spine gilt in six compartments. Binding somewhat worn but structurally sound. Internally clean. Gay-Lemmonyer III, 986. Very rare.

Hirsch, Joseph (Sylvan Cole association copy)
Couples (includes "Couple and One", "Nereid and Poseidon", "Wakening", "Hammock", "Hands at Rest", and "Centaur")
A COMPLETE DELUXE SET, IN FINE CONDITION. This is a charming suite of six color lithographs (Cole 61-66), many playfully erotic, each justified and signed in pencil by Hirsch. From a total edition of 145 suites, all printed on fine BFK Rives paper, this is ONE OF FIVE HORS-COMMERCE SETS WITH AN ADDITIONAL SET OF THE LITHOGRAPHS PRINTED IN BLACK, ALSO JUSTIFIED AND SIGNED IN PENCIL BY HIRSCH. Additionally signed by Hirsch on the limitation page. This is furthermore an outstanding association copy, WITH A SIGNED PRESENTATION INSCRIPTION FROM HIRSCH TO "LILYAN AND SYLVAN". Sylvan Cole (1918-2005) was the most important dealer in American prints of his (or any) generation, and as the director of Associated American Artists published thousands of prints, including this suite. He also compiled several catalogues raisonnes, including the one of Hirsch's prints. "Lilyan" was Cole's second wife. Since each of the prints is signed, virtually all copies of this suite have been broken up. This copy is complete because it remained in Cole's private collection from the time Hirsch presented it to him until Cole died. Large folio. FINE AND BRIGHT WITH NO DEFECTS. In the original (very slightly worn) cloth folding case. A unique, important, and impressive item. IMPORTANT NOTE: During March, 2006, hundreds of prints represented as being from "the Sylvan Cole collection" were sold at public auction. In fact, ALL of these items were from his leftover gallery inventory, not his private collection. As far as I know, the few items I offer from Sylvan's collection are the ONLY items anywhere on the market which are actually from his private collection (which he kept in his apartment, not his gallery). I acquired them all directly from Sylvan (my uncle), mainly in spring, 2005.

Lord Auch (Georges Bataille) (Deborah Cullen, Sophie Sanders, Rudzani Nemasetoni, Edward Fausty, Shigeku Kumabe, Wei Jane Chir, Andrew Davis, Esteban Chavez, Marjorie Van Dyke, Kelly Driscoll, Lance Lumar, Richard Nelson, Peter Mayer, Scherer and Ou
Bataille's Eye. Signed prints by Deborah Cullen, Sophie Sanders, Rudzani Nemasetoni, Edward Fausty, Shigeku Kumabe, Wei Jane Chir, Andrew Davis, Esteban Chavez, Marjorie Van Dyke, Kelly Driscoll, Lance Lumar et al. Histoire de l'oeil History of the
A fascinating and wonderfully-illustrated monograph--with contributions by various scholars--devoted to Georges Bataille's magisterial erotic surrealist novel, Histoire de l'Oeil (first published pseudonymously in 1928). This is ONE OF ONLY 100 COPIES WITH THE UNEXPURGATED COVER, which was "cleaned up" for the trade edition. All of Masson's lithographs executed for the first edition of Histoire de l'Oeil are reproduced, as are the etchings Bellmer made for the second. There are many other related illustrations as well. This is ONE OF FEWER THAN 30 NUMBERED COPIES OF THE DELUXE EDITION, WITH A PORTFOLIO OF 13 ORIGINAL SIGNED AND NUMBERED PRINTS (etchings, aquatints, lithographs, woodcuts, photoengravings, mixed media) by Deborah Cullen, Sophie Sanders & Rudzani Nemasetoni, Edward Fausty, Shigeku Kumabe, Wei Jane Chir, Andrew Davis, Esteban Chavez, Marjorie Van Dyke, Kelly Driscoll, Lance Lumar, Richard Nelson, Peter Mayer, and Scherer & Ouporo. Square 4to. The book is in the original wraps, in the original folding paper envelope. It is housed with the prints in the original luxurious cloth case, with a mounted glass eye (!)--complete with movable eyelid and eyelash--staring out from the cover. FINE AND BRIGHT WITH NO DEFECTS. 75 copies of this deluxe edition were announced, but in the end fewer than 30 were actually assembled. A stylish and impressive tribute to one of the intellectual milestones of the 20th century, the Histoire de l'Oeil, widely considered not only the best surrealist work of fiction but also the most important erotic novel written since 1900.

Mathey, Georg Alexander (Hans Bethge)
Sechs Radierungen zu Hans Bethge's Satuila (original etchings by Georg Alexander Mathey)
NUMBER ONE OF ONLY TEN SETS OF THIS OUTSTANDING PORTFOLIO OF EXPRESSIONIST ETCHINGS, WITH MANY OF THE ETCHINGS PRINTED ON OLD JAPANESE PAPER. In 1918 German novelist Hans Bethge wrote "Satuila oder vom Zauber der Suedsee" ("Satuila or the Enchantment of the South Sea"), the story of a young woman in Samoa. It is a sensual, escapist tale: the situation in Germany was quite terrible after the defeat in WWI, and there was great demand for escapism. This novel was a hit, and a deluxe edition, with 6 original etchings by German Expressionist artist Georg Alexander Mathey, was published in Berlin in 1921. The etchings are extremely beautiful, perfectly capturing the lush sensuality of the landscape and the unabashed sexuality of the characters (similar to the depictions of Gypsies by Otto Mueller, from about the same time). This edition of the novel was limited to 250 copies. Aside from the book edition, 10 sets of the etchings were printed, with large margins. In these 10 sets, each of the etchings is signed and numbered by the artist. I OFFER ONE OF THESE 10 SETS: SET NUMBER 1, with each of the etchings numbered 1/10 and signed in pencil by the artist. FOUR OF THE SIX ETCHINGS IN THIS SET ARE PRINTED ON OLD JAPANESE PAPER, AND ARE PERHAPS UNIQUE AS SUCH. Additionally, there is a signed working proof of an early version of one of the etchings, also printed on old Japanese paper. This proof is probably unique, as the etching was never published. The set is as it was issued. Each etching (sheet size 8 1/2 x 7 inches--22 x 18 cm) is individually matted, and the original parchment-backed cloth portfolio case (16 1/2 x 13 inches--42 x 33 cm). There is a little light wear to the portfolio, but the etchings are fine and bright. An important and extremely rare item (and perhaps the only German Expressionist depictions of the South Pacific!)

Corday, Michel (Marcel Gompel association copy)
Les revelees. Roman.
FIRST EDITION of this novel which, way ahead of its time, discusses the right of women to enjoy sexual pleasure. A LARGE-PAPER COPY, ONE OF ONLY TEN PRINTED ON FINE HANDMADE DUTCH LAID PAPER (the rest of the edition was printed on cheap wood-pulp paper.) Also a fascinating association copy, from the library of MARCEL GOMPEL, a Jewish professor at the College de France who became a hero of the French resistance and was finally tortured and executed on orders from Klaus Barbie. When Barbie came to trial, the prosecutors used Gompel's case as a particularly clear and egregious example of his guilt of crimes against humanity. 8vo. Beautifully bound (surely for Gompel) in half morocco and marbled boards. Top edge gilt, other edges uncut. Original covers and spine preserved. Silk ribbon page marker. FINE AND BRIGHT, with no defects. A truly unique book.

Ronsard, Pierre de and Aristide Maillol (Ambroise Vollard)
Livret de folastries (with etchings by Aristide Maillol)
Illustrated with 43 original etchings (16 full-page and hors-texte) by Aristide Maillol, many of which are quite erotic. From a total edition of 230 copies, this is ONE OF 35 ON JAPAN PAPER. Only the copies on Japan are signed with Maillol's monogram, as this copy is. (Note: the individual etchings are not signed in this or in any other known copy. I once saw a copy with poorly forged penciled monograms on each of the hors-texte etchings, though.) This copy furthermore contains another etching by Maillol, "Feuille d'etudes" (Guerin 379), never published and extremely rare (this particular etching is illustrated in a full-page plate in Vollard's autobiography). Although Maillol illustrated several books with lithographs and woodcuts, this is the only one he did with etchings and, in fact, it contains almost the entirety of his work in this medium. One of Vollard's last great books: the great publisher died before the book was completed. According to Strachan, one of Vollard's "finest masterpieces." (p. 36) Small quarto, loose in original wraps as issued. Fine. References: Skira 217 (illustrated), Erving 17 (illus.), Guerin 332-374, Johnson 190 (illus.), Rauch 143, Wheeler p. 106 (illus.), Vollard p. 68 (illus.), Jentsch 33 (illus.), Strachan 337, Carteret IV, p. 347: "La seule et belle illustration de l'artiste gravee a l'eau-forte; elle est tres recherchee et cotee, surtout sur japon." One of the great erotic illustrated books of the 20th century.

Casement, Roger (Peter Singleton-Gates and Maurice Girodias, editors)
The Black Diaries. An Account of Roger Casement's Life and Times, with a Collection of His Diaries and Public Writings
AN EXCEPTIONAL COPY, WITH TWO UNIQUE AND IMPORTANT LETTERS CITED IN THE STANDARD OLYMPIA PRESS BIBLIOGRAPHY. One of 2,000 copies of the first British edition. (Actually this "British edition" was created by taking 2,000 copies of the first American (Grove Press) edition to England, putting a sticker over the imprint, and issuing a new dustjacket.) LAID IN ARE TWO EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TYPED LETTERS SIGNED--ABOUT 1,000 WORDS--FROM THE EDITOR, SINGLETON-GATES, on his letterhead, to a correspondent in Nothern Rhodesia (later Zambia) (!). In these unpublished letters, written during the 1960s, Singleton-Gates describes his feelings towards Casement. He also describes, in passionate terms, the fascinating circumstances surrounding the publication of these scandalous diaries, and the numerous obstacles he faced, including copyright and censorship issues. He furthermore explains his various other projects relating to Casement, none of which came to fruition. It is fair to say that these letters shed considerable light on the limits of press freedoms in Britain during the late 50s and 60s, as well as on the way Casement's heirs felt about his legacy. THESE LETTERS ARE CITED--and briefly excerpted--on pp. 60-61 of Patrick Kearney's bibliography, The Paris Olympia Press (Liverpool, Liverpool University Press, 2007). Also laid in are numerous newspaper clippings from 1959 and 1960, all relating to the publication. 4to. Publisher's cloth. Fine and bright, in a very good price-clipped dj.

Chapelle, Bachaumont, La Fontaine, et al. (Padgett / Paget copy)
Recueil de quelques pieces nouvelles et galantes, tant en prose qu'en vers
Two volumes in one, complete. First edition of this rare and important collection, not to be confused with another book of the same title published in 1663. Barbier (IV, 88) offers a long citation from Nodier (Catalogue Guilbert de Pixerecourt, no. 1639): "Ce petit recueil est tres-connu, mais il merite de l'etre, car il se distingue de toutes les collections du meme genre par le choix des pieces, et aucune autre n'en peut tenir lieu...." Nodier goes on to explain, with convincing argumentation, that this is in fact a personal choice printed by a collector with good taste, and not by a professional publisher. Nicely printed on fine laid paper. 12mo. Beautifully bound in contemporary calf, spine gilt, with Padget (Paget) coat of arms (motto: "Per il suo contrario") embossed on both boards. Light wear to extremities but structurally sound and still very attractive. Internally bright and fine. An excellent copy. Brunet IV, 1156: "Rare et assez curieux."
