L'ART DE JOUIR; ou traite pratique des caresses volupteuses. Recettes & formulas sur les aphrodisiaques et philtres d'amour.

Paris: Andre Hal, c.1902. Some wear and bumping to edges of boards, otherwise a very good copy of a rare and fascinating work.

Item #38194

Narrow 12mo. 181pp. Rebound (without the wrappers) in leather-backed boards, gilt, head- and tail-bands. This copy conforms to Dutel 56, who believes the author to have been Roland Brevannes, also known as 'Pierrot,' 'Dr. Drennus,' &c., &c., a writer of salacious sexology books. At the conclusion of the text is an important 68-page clandestine catalogue, separately paginated, that includes photographs, albums and etchings, 'livres ultra-obscenes' (with and without illustrations), contraceptives, 'creme vaginal,' and much else besides. Having come from the offices of Parliament News, there's an interesting provenenance to this copy, with a pencilled note on the verso of the ffep, "Please return after having used. Ask Mr. Luros.."

Price: $750.00
