Jean Fort was a prolific producer of erotica, under a variety of imprints, his Collection des Orties Blanches (White Nettles), was specifically dedicated to sado- masochistic story lines. Fort produced a very large number of titles under this imprint, between 1920-1939, illustrated by various artists, this by the wonderful Louis Malteste. Who in this instance appears to have been the author as well as the illustrator.
Something of a lesson in this title which was an e-bay purchase, advertised as having the 21 illustrations called for, but in actuality only having 16 which are displayed here, it is always best when buying any illustrated book especially on eBay and from France to confirm that all the illustrations are present.
This original title is available for trade against my Paris Olympia Press wants.
