That very rare ocurence on this site, a book without illustrations!, this one is here because I really like it, and I have long been a fan of the publications of Charles Carrington and especially the clandestine titles. Despite the lack of illustrations, (it was never issued as an illustrated edition), it is exceedingly rare and of interest to the serious erotic bibliophile.

Another rare flagellation title, I am not sure whether this title was reissued by Editions Dominique Leroy in the 1970’s, as were many of the other Carlo illustrated titles, but in any case it is worth noting that the illustrations in the original editions are on papier couche, or glossy paper, as a result they are much more vibrant than the reprints where the illustrations were on ordinairy cheap paper stock. This is the original edition and I hope you like the images.

A large volume which presented some scanning challenges, pleased that it appears to have worked out OK, Enjoy the outrageous illustrations in glorious colour.

Cover by M

Following my tradition of seeking out books that are complete but affordable, i have happened upon this lovely little book, and as disheveled as it is, it is a wonderful find, as I cannot locate another anywhere with all of the illustrations. The process of listing such a book is something of a delicate exercise as it is very fragile, you may have seen in other listings of mine that I comment that a book will be unlikely to survive another scanning session, this particular title meets that criteria. The quality of paper in these titles produced around 1920, is very poor, and the decorations can be blurred, and the hors-texte images faint. I have scanned the images in as best as my technology allows, and I have altered the exposure of the full page illustrations, which has brought them to life. I hope you enjoy them.

Notes In this Preface, the publisher mentions his desire to publish a book on flogging “without hurting the most elementary morality”, and presents the novel as a kind of warning about dangers of this practice! “Flogging has always existed and, in spite of us, will have long followers, but if we reduce the number in the future, we will be satisfied.”

Yet another French flagellation title, this quite early as evidenced by the nature of the illustrations, the artist is unknown. it appears that there is a variant edition with illustrations in red.

Another German language title, which is a rare enough occurence on this blog, apparently first published around 1900, this appears in various editions, but I cannot locate another matching this copy, there is a listing for a 1932 edition Pivately Printed Budapest, on-line, with claims to being profusely illustrated, without saying how many illustrations or by whom. The illustrations in this copy are small and pasted in on card, one of them is very familiar, having featured in Kearneys, History of Erotic Literature. I have done my best to present the illustrations as clearly as possible, I hope you enjoy them.

Another labour of love for me, rescued this one before it disappeared, it is in a very fragile state, and will not survive another scanning session, however it is complete and the illustrations are all present, this being the first in a small number of illustrated titles I will be posting in the next few weeks.

Summary : “Beautiful passengers cruising on a yacht become the victims of the crew and the captain who enslaves them to their whims by indulging in them abominable pleasures with many realistic illustrations.”

A truly pristine item of ephemera, and a most welcome addition to my collection. This is a perfect example of the material that I am seeking, this one is courtesy of Arcana Cabana in the Netherlands, who kindly agreed to seperate the price list from an edition of Justine, where it had sat between the leaves, untouched for over 50 years. You can view the Arcana Cabana site below.

Paris Olympia Press, Price list and Order form, Spring 1962.

Printed both sides in black and red on a single sheet of pale yellow card, measuring 27×9 cm. Paris bookshop sticker affixed to base of the form on the verso.

The titles in red are highlighted as new editions due to be published, interestingly, the low number Traveller’s Companion Series titles had been in print since 1955/56, therefore at TC 13 ” The Secret Life of Robinson Crusoe” was formerly entitled “The Sexual Life of Robinson Crusoe”, at TC 29, “Helen and Desire” was actually reissued as “Desire and Helen”, and at TC 40 ” The Organisation” was reissued as “The New Organisation”. Legend has it that the changes in title of these reprints was a ploy to confuse the Brigade Mondaine, who worked to lists of Olympia titles that had been banned in France, but as few, if any of the officials could read English a simple ploy such as above was enough to throw them off the scent.

You can also see that at TC 57, the sixth volume of Juliette was about to be issued, the slot for TC 58 was held vacant,eventually (in 1965) was occupied by “Juliette” volume seven, but at one stage in (catalogue 1958) it had been scheduled fo a TC edition of Becketts” Watt”. The title at TC 90 planned as ” The Sex Life of Ulysses” eventually came out as “A Bedside Odyssey”.

Another anomaly, under the Othello Books series (numbered 111-116), which were all to be published in 1962, at 116, sits “Sextet” by Hume Parkinson, which was not issued in this series, and appears to been passed over in the Danish imprint “Odyssey Library”, where it was supposed to be published in 1963, eventually turning up as TC 94 the last title to be published in the Travellers Companion Series in 1965.

No mention on this list of any of the Ophelia Press titles, which generally appear to have been run as a seperate enterprise the Ophelia titles are generally themed around flagellation and sado masochism which traditionally sat outside of mainstream erotica.

Such a significant amount of information from such a small piece of paper, and perhaps something of an explanation for my fascination, with the Olympia Press ephemera material.

Another Fem-dom title from the Vidal empire and a very rare Editions duCouvre-Feu title despite it condition, here the old adage “find another copy” applies.
Dont know how I missed his one i’ve had it for ages, i suspect I may have been reluctant to scan it because of the fragile state of the binding,never mind done now, hope you like it.

Book has been rebound in anonymous grey card covers, the original covers are absent, binding is loose and separating and the poor old thing needs resoration and a rebind. However for our purposes it is more than good enough because the illustrations are all present.
