Books for Sale: Liane Laure; Confidences égarées Collection de Orties Blanches, 16 heliogravures by Dagy (Daniel Girard), Paris 1932

IMG_0002

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.


Revisiting old sub collections and attempting to link them together also exploring my bookcase to locate items never listed and there are a lot of them, so a brief foray back into the confusion surrounding the various publishers and artists of the burgeoning French flagellation scene, a genre that had remained fairly safe from state interference until the 1950’s, at which time many formally openly published titles were subject to multiple prosecutions (as was this title). My investigations have concluded, that from the 1890’s onwards publishers like Carrington were issuing massive amounts of flagellation titles, but the majority of the ones published , clandestinely were heavy end pornography with flagellation and punishment as an integral part of the story line, very few of these were illustrated.  However French language language editions of the same title were expunged of the sexual content but were often profusely illustrated.

A large number of French publishers started producing profuse numbers of illustrated flagellation , spanking stories from around 1900, and although originally pretty tame, as we head into the 20’s and 30’s more sexual content was appearing and in the run in to WWII, some of the publishers appear to have been in open competition to be the most extreme in violent sexual content, interestingly a significant proportion of this was focused on female domination or FEM/DOM as it came to be known. Much of this activity was generated by business empires that included sex shops selling fetish wear and bondage gear alongside books magazines and other paraphernalia. For more detailed information I recommend Les éditions du Couvre -Fue, edited by Christrophe Bier, éditions Astarté -Paris, 2013.

The Charles Carrington Collection: (Jean de Villiot) Eaux-fortes pour l’illustration de Étude sur la Flagellation en France & en Angleterre au point de vue médical et historique. Paris, Charles Carrington, 1898.

This extremely rare and beautiful complete set of illustrations, were something of a challenge. Originally I though they referred to a specific title which I couldn’t locate, because of the 1898 date, however research took me to the only titles ” Etude sur la “Flagellation”, and as the 1901 edition is fully and splendidly illustrated these must belong to the unillustrated 1899 edition. I have both editions, but cannot locate any reference to these illustrations in the actual books. So I assume that Guacamole who was wrong about the number of engravings, appears to be correct in saying they were only offered to subscribers who purchased the book:-

ÉTUDE SUR LA FLAGELLATION A TRAVERS LE MONDE
Aux points de vue historique, médical, religieux, domestique et conjugal, avec un exposé documentaire de la flagellation dans les écoles anglaises et les prisons militaires. Paris: Charles Carrington, 1899. 15.24cm. x 23.50cm. xii + 509pp. Printed by Bouillant in a limited edition of 575 copies of which 25 are on Japon, 50 are on Whatman and 500 are on Hollande [copy seen]. Chapter and tail pieces.


The Portfolio

Pasted in Title Panel

CARRINGTON – (Jean de Villiot)
Eaux-fortes pour l’illustration de Étude sur la Flagellation en France & en Angleterre au point de vue médical et historique. Paris, Charles Carrington, 1898. 28.5 x 19.5 cm. Original plain portfolio – on the inside a leaf has been pasted with title and index with the titles of the seven etchings. An inner envelope contains 7 illustrations in four states, (28 in all), etching-engravings on loose sheets of handmade paper, uncut. Portfolio a bit worn, ties gone, envelope browned, but etchings in excellent condition. First Edition. These seven illustrations , according to the printed leaf, were only for sale for those who had bought Étude sur la flagellation. A second leaf pasted at the inside of the envelope advertises the Carrington title Sophie Arnould. Mentioned (but probably not seen) by Pia on col. 429.

According to Guacamole (Charles Carrington (1867-1921). Bibliographie eines Verlags. Berlin, 2005), this publication (nr. 236 in his list) should comprise the 7 illustrations in three states. But he was wrong:-

Charles Carrington Collection: STORIES FROM THE FOLK-LORE OF RUSSIA.[ALEKSANDER N. AFANASYEV] Done into English by the translator of The book of exposition in the science of coition, The old man young again, and other charming works ejusdem farinae. Paris: Charles Carrington,1897

This Book

Another Carrington from the Michael Neal collection, and a marginal one for this site, as it is bawdy rather than erotic, but a marvellous volume nonetheless. It has the distinction of being in English and being profusely illustrated, Carrington’s published in English often have old plates or engravings, but unlike French editions, rarely have commissioned illustrations, this one is an exception. Like many other Carrington publications it is very hard to find. It also has the distinction of possessing my favourite Cover/Title Page and an outstanding frontispiece.

I must take issue with the bibliographic description as far as the illustrators are concerned, the frontispiece and 6 colour wash illustration are by J.Wely, the majority of the in text illustrations and other page illustrations are signed or initialled by J.Wely and G.D (Georges Dola), a few of the illustrations are unsigned, but I cannot recognise them as Bayros, perhaps someone out there can put me straight on this. The book is complete and there are no missing pages.

STORIES FROM THE FOLK-LORE OF RUSSIA [ALEKSANDER N. AFANASYEV]. Done into English by the translator of The book of exposition in the science of coition, The old man young again, and other charming works ejusdem farinae. Paris: Charles Carrington, 1897.13.97cm. x 21.59cm. xix + 265pp. Limited edition of 500 copies on Van Gelder. Frontispiece done in green, peach and black by J. Wely. 10 plates by Franz von Bayros + 6 plates by J. Wely.

Originally published in Geneva, c.1872 as Russikya zavetniya skazki (Russian Secret Tales) by Aleksandr N. Afanasyev. This was a supplement to Afanasyev’s Narodnye russkie skazki (Popular Russian Tales), 1855-1864. In 1883 a group of folklorists published a yearbook of erotic folklore titled Kryptádia (Secret Things), the first volume being a French translation of Afanasyev’s Russikya zavetniya skazki. Isidore Liseux also translated Afanasyev’s text into French in 1891. That edition being the text Carrington used to translate this present work into English [See Legman: The Horn Book, p.475-476].

Charles Carrington Collection: JACQUES DESCROIX. LA GYNÉCOCRATIE    Ou La Domination de la femme. Précédé d’une Étude sur le masochisme dans l’histoire et les traditions, par Laurent Tailhade. Paris: Charles Carrington, 1902

This Book

A return to my labour of love, which is the cataloguing of The Charles Carrington Collection, this consists of titles from my own collection and those of my good friend Michael Neal. I had promised Michael, before his untimely death last year that I would list all of the titles that I now own, and I have slowly been doing so between forays into titles that I would like to sell on. This one is from the Michael Neal Collection, and according to his provenance was formally in the Leonardt Collection. For most visitors to the site, the primary interest is in the illustrations, this title allows for a great treat because all of the many illustrations are by Martin Van Maele.

JACQUES DESCROIX. LA GYNÉCOCRATIE,  Ou La Domination de la femme. Précédé d’une Étude sur le masochisme dans l’histoire et les traditions, par Laurent Tailhade. Paris: Charles Carrington, 1902.15.88cm. x 24.77. xiv + 317pp. Printed by Bouillant in a limited edition of 750 copies printed on Holland. Frontispiece + 20 illustrations and numerous in-text illustrations by Martin van Maele. Title page in red and black. This Book is rebound in luxury boards, in a slipcase, the remains of the original paper covers are preserved, there is some staining to page edges in places, but never encroaching on text or illustrations.

This is a French translation of Gynecocracy, Adventures and Psychological Experiences of Julian Robinson, published by Leonard Smithers in 1893. This present work retains the flagellation scenes from that original English edition but is expurgated of all the sexual descriptions. This work is thought to have been written by either Stanislas de Rhodes, a London lawyer or possibly by Havelock Ellis, although there is no hard evidence to support either theory. [See Mendes: 84-A]. La Gynécocratie was later published in English by Carrington in c.1912.

This Book

As a rolling tribute to my good friend Michael Neal, who sadly passed away on October 21st. I am continuing with my promise to catalogue all the Charles Carrington titles from our combined collections. This particular title is one from Michaels collection and a wonderful example of a working book that has been read and bears the signs of wear with pride. An absolute treat to handle, great size and weight, printed on heavy hand made Van Gelder paper, beautiful print job and fabulous Van Maele illustrations, always at his best when there is room for his marvellous monsters.


Thaïs is a novel by French writer Anatole France, published in 1890 and considered one of his best works. It is based on events in the life of Saint Thaïs of Egypt, a legendary convert to Christianity who is said to have lived in the 4th century. In the story, Paphnuce, an ascetic hermit of the Egyptian desert, journeys to Alexandria to find Thais, the libertine beauty whom he knew as a youth. Masquerading as a dandy, he is able to speak with her about eternity; surprisingly he succeeds in converting her to Christianity. Yet on their return to the desert he becomes fascinated with her former life. She enters a convent to repent of her sins. He cannot forget the pull of her famous beauty, and becomes confused about the values of life. Later, as she is dying and can only see heaven opening before her, he comes to her side and tells her that her faith is an illusion, and that he loves her.

Anatole France (François-Anatole Thibault 1844-1924) was a French poet, journalist, and novelist. He was a successful novelist, with several best-sellers. Ironic and sceptical, he was considered in his day the ideal French man of letters. He was a member of the Académie Française, and won the 1921 Nobel Prize in Literature “in recognition of his brilliant literary achievements, characterized as they are by a nobility of style, a profound human sympathy, grace, and a true Gallic temperament”. France is also widely believed to be the model for narrator Marcel’s literary idol Bergotte in Marcel Proust’s In Search of Lost Time.
