réf. 28207Chicago : s.n. circa 1965. Octavo illustrated self-wrappers pp. 14 illustrated in black and white light central crease. A rare early American vinyl and latex catalogue with a variety of products designed for fetishist sexplay. Includes latex bikinis bloomers custom made ladies dress suits exercise suits panties gloves aprons raincapes slacks bras boots and other latexwear. The publisher is anonymous and the catalogue was probably distributed through sex shops and similar however the mention of sales tax in Illinois suggests the publisher was located in that state probably Chicago. Discovering diversity during the sexual revolution. The origins of Latex fetishism or rubber fetishism are traditionally attributed to the invention of the Mackintosh raincoat in 1824. Originally a purely functional piece of waterproof outerwear the raincoat like all garments evolves as a fashion object and the unique materials and sensual nature of the latex produce an erotic effect on fetishists for a variety of reasons not all of which entirely understood. Latex fetishism in the modern era can see its emergence in the invention of the catsuit in the 1950s by British designer John Sutcliffe transitioning to the mainstream in the 1960s with The Avengers with the show's sexy heroine Emma Peel clad in latex. Latexwear is often subversive and makes reference to marginalised social groups such as bikers prostitutes and slaves and appropriates motifs of power from the military and dungeon master to challenge traditional notions of authority and control. Latex was explored by Vivienne Westwood and other designers in the early 1970s celebrated by the punk movement in the late 70s club kids in the 80s and continues to be a material widely enjoyed by both mainstream fashionistas and fetishists alike. This rare catalogue from the time of the sexual revolution celebrates the acceptance of sexual diversity and individual liberation. Unlike contemporary latex fetish catalogues like AtomAge which featured the more extreme forms of kink on their covers gas masks etc. this anonymous catalogue promotes the use wearing of latex as part of one's daily routine.

réf. 1067France c.1890. Oblong box of very thick card 345 x 258 x 45 mm the lid with a superb chromolithographic illustration depicting children and families at the zoo with camel and elephant rides and an ostrich-drawn carriage.

réf. 34377Watercolour on laid paper with watermark of a horse and rider and pair of scales 200 x 148 mm sheet; captioned in ink 'Nouvelle Hollande' at bottom left and with a foliation number '184' in the same hand at bottom right; the sheet is unmounted verso blank and the drawing has survived in fine condition - virtually in its original state; removal from a sketchbook at some point is confirmed by the slightly roughened top edge of the sheet which also shows evidence of the original stitch holes. This watercolour sketch was made by an anonymous French artist probably around 1835. It appears to be a conflation of several images by the voyage artist Louis Auguste de Sainson 1800-1887 which depict Indigenous people at King George's Sound Albany Western Australia. Sainson made his sketches in situ in 1826 during the Astrolabe's scientific round-the-world voyage under the command of Dumont d'Urville. His drawings were reproduced as engraved plates in Voyage de la Corvette l'Astrolabe Paris: J. Tastu1830-35 and elsewhere. The male figure wears a short animal-skin cloak characteristic of the type worn by the men in Sainson's King George's Sound drawings. His arms are outstretched with the wrists limp and hands downturned a highly distinctive gesture that appears to have been copied directly from the identical body language of several of the subjects in Sainson's famous drawing titled Port du Roi Georges. Nouvelle-Hollande. Un naturel montre à ses Compagnons les Cadeaux qu'il a reçus à bord de L'Astrolabe which depicts an Indigenous man showing his companions the trinkets given to him by the Astrolabe's crew. Furthermore the way in which the man is shown in full profile with knees slightly bent his straggly beard and hair accentuated is strikingly similar to the manner in which the left-hand figure in Sainson's Nlle. Hollande. Naturels du port du Roi Georges is posed. Finally the native grass tree Xanthorrhoea australis is placed at the bottom right of the image just as it is in Sainson's Vue d'un Étang près la Baie du Roi Georges. unknown
