A fragile item purchased cheaply on eBay, worth the money for the illustrations alone, strictly speaking not a flagellation novel but an erotic Lesbian romance, beautifully illustrated by Herric with images of gorgeous girls attired in ribbons and lace and silken underclothes.

The illustrations are some of the finest I have seen, and although low on sexual content they are truly erotic as a result, I suspect that the low level spanking content is a (transparent) cover for the Lesbian theme of this book, where from the illustrations at least all participants appear to be young ladies, even though sometimes thinly disguised as young men.
Enjoy the beautiful illustrations.

The book was reprinted in France so it’s quite easy to have the images for a bargain price . Herric (Hérouard) draws fascinating erotic drawings, very subtle and wall mastered.
The exact title is “LE LIBERTINAGE du RETROUSSÉ”
Thanks for the correction, I suppose many of the titles have been reissued, I know for sure that a lot of the Orties Blanches were, but it is nice to have the original with the engraved plates, as I expect the reprints are not gravures, or am I wrong?
Yes, it’s a relative poor reproduction – bad paper. I saw a colorized version of the book watercolor handmade. Very bad colors.
