Glazed and framed in black wood and gilt metal frame of earlier date. An 18th century scene showing a man and woman in elaborate dress surprised in a boudoir by another woman entering the room. 4 inches in diameter. An amusing jeu d'esprit very possibly done by the artist to oblige the owner of a old and previously empty frame. The elegant scene is not very lacivious--everybody is fully dressed although the surprised lady who turns away from the evidently unwelcome visitor shows a fair amount of leg and the gentleman is holding his tricorn hat in what might be regarded as a somewhat compromising position. The artist an Englishman born at the end of the 19th century studied with the eminent Walter Sickert and went on to exhibit landscapes and portraits at various prestigious venues in England and France. unknown

1770rif. ACGGGLIF1Z51The Netherlands 1770. 8vo. Contemporary red half roan sheepskin gold-tooled spine. With an illustration on title-page built up out of cast ornaments and 4 engraved plates. 2 184 pp. Second copy located of the first and only edition of "Confessions of a libertine" an 18th-century Dutch picaresque erotic novel in which the principal narrator Karel tells his fiancée Charlotte about his promiscuous past. The story starts with how his father met his mother Julia in the monastery where he grew up in. Julia was the 17/18-year-old daughter of the abbot who was "taught" all about sexuality by her father at an early age. The abbot passed away soon after Karel's father left for the army and was replaced by a 45-year old Franciscan monk who took turns with both mother and daughter. The situation became unsustainable because of the mother's jealousy of her daughter causing Julia to flee to her lover; Karel was conceived the following night. The life of Karel's parents gives a glimpse of the story that follows often taking place in a religious environment. The novel does not only detail the sexual encounters however but also provides arguments for free morals for instance pointing out that our ancestors just followed their nature without being obstructed by any morals. Novels like this have been neglected for about two hundred years and only in the last decennia interest has been revived.With bookplate and owner's inscription. The plate facing page 43 loosely inserted but otherwise in very good condition.

2003rif. TE-V94G-IPKH2003 Erotic Print Society large format paperback edition. Light reading wear else very good condition. The Victorian era is often thought of as a golden age of middle-class prosperity and comfort. To this day 'Victorian values' are upheld as a yardstick of moral rectitude and family virtues. However the underbelly of this righteous image is often conveniently forgotten: pictorial evidence reveals a secret Victorian pleasure of an altogether more dangerous nature - photographic pornography. Evolving remarkably quickly from awkwardly posed nudes to hard-core orgiastic scenes that would make a latter-day porn star look to his or her laurels these images reveal how quickly a new medium was taken up and exploited by the studios of the day. The Sins of Our Fathers Volume II is the second survey of hard-core pornography of the nineteenth century to be published by the Erotic Print Society. Some 150 images from the DuPret Collection are accompanied by excerpts from forbidden contemporary literature itself extremely explicit. The result is a startlingly evocative tour of the Victorian erotic underworld. Erotic Print Society paperback
