NP: Paris-London (1925).
Item #8711
The complete set of these three works, all of which went through numerous editions over the years.
Three volumes in pink wraps with black and red titles. Some fading to spines, edge-wear, light shelf-wear. Pia (@ 1290-91) indicates that each volume contained 12 pouchoir images, although the copies at the Bibliotheque Nationale (Enfer 1228, 1229, 1230) are incomplete. Our examples contain 25 images laid into the rear of the volumes (12 in La Veuve Amoureuse and 12 in Miss Frankland, 5 in Madame Benson) although it is unclear which illustrations were destined for each volume. The images represent a variety of sexual encounters, including several gay subjects.
Uncommon.
