Investment Piece

Extremely rare clandestine Carrington published for him by, Roberts and Dardaillon who were agents of Charles Carrington while he was exiled in Brussels between 1907 and 1912; although not everything they published, was for Carrington. Roberts and Dardaillon also issued books using the imprints of ‘Editions Artistiques; and ‘Editions Parisienne’, as well as clandestine works.

They published most of the Sackville series. which consist of Two Lascivious Adventures of Mr. Howard; The Amazing Chastisements of Miss Bostock; Whipping as a Fine Art; Maud Cameron and her Guardian [Charles Carrington]; Mr. Howard Goes Yachting; and Fantastic Chastisements.

Charles Sackville – Three Chapters in the Life of Mr. Howard – published by William Murray, Buchanan Street, Glasgow,1908, 19.5cm. 178pp. Limited edition of 500 copies printed on laid paper marked Sorel Mill. (Clandestine Publication) First edition. Limited to 500 copies. 178 pages + 4 of ads.

Prosecuted by at the Cours d’assise, Seine (Paris), on 2 occasions : (a) 11 Oct. 1913 and (b) 23 Dec 1914. (Mendes: 187) (Kinsey: 823.8 S117 t9 1907)

NOTE: this edition carries the same publishers/ printers motif as a number of other clandestine Carrington’s, this title is close to the claimed publication date (1908) although it may be slightly later. The other titles with this motif, linked below, appear to be the papers of Carrington stock purchased at auction and re-sold between 1920-1930, all are clandestine publications.

This Book:- is reasonably firmly bound in fairly contemporary full black Morocco with gilt lettering and decoration, raised bands to the spine, gilt to the top edge of the text block and marbled endpapers front and rear, the binding by Bennett of New York, presumably Whitman Bennett. the leather is slightly rubbed, with some chips at the spine ends and the hinges are becoming tender. The text block is age toned and slightly marked, with small closed tears to some page edges, and a few signs of historic tape repairs towards the gutters, the original thick greyish brown card wraps, lettered in red and black, have been retained front and rear, along with the lettered portion of the original spine.

An uncommon work of Edwardian erotica, one of a series following the adventures of the flagellation fixated Mr. Howard. “Three Chapters in the Life of Mr. Howard”

Three disparate adventures see Mr Howard, in the first chapter, inflicting a second severe punishment on young Gladys Trotter. As often happens with, Mr Howard the floggings cause the girl to submit to him completely and he sets her up in a school of her own so he can prey on her pupils. In chapter two, Miss Goosepelt and Miss Astley are the pupils who suffer and in chapter 3 two lesbian lovers Miss Arnold and Miss Cornish feel the lash and more in savage punishments and defloration.

Thank you for your response. ✨

This post is the first attempt to record in full, two editions by Carrington. Clandestine and Unpublished. The background information to this originates with Sheryl Perry. The Erotica Bibliophile. Links to her bibliographical information are at the base of this post.

My Thanks to Sheryl Perry for permission to use her descriptions that feature in this post. All images and physical descriptions, come from the books themselves, which are in my possession, Inherited from my friend and fellow bibliomaniac, Michael Neale.

It must be noted that Carrington spends over 100 pages, complaining about the poor quality of everyone else’s edition of this title, compared to his; from poor translations to bad quality paper and print, he expands into referencing his publication of “The Old Man Young Again”, which apparently had not been a popular title, sales wise, so he links it to the “Perfumed Garden on the basis of its study of aphrodisiacs . (Sales Pitch).

He further rants about the unfairness of piracies and goes so far as to set up a society to punish the transgressors. He does this sort of thing all the time. But he did produce some beautiful books.

Original Wraps, with the full title, but stating publisher to be:-

Librairie de L’Edition ,4 Rue de Furstenberg Paris, 1907

When Carrington moved back to France in 1912 he took up shop at 11 rue de Châteaudun but financially his days of publishing were coming quickly to an end. In a 1913 reply to a letter from Lawrence Forster in Canada on the feasibility of producing a bibliography of English erotica post-Ashbee, Carrington indicates he is very poor “I am now practically done for and in fact have not enough money to bring out the second part of the Perfumed Garden nor other translations from the Arabic, the French and the Latin that I have all ready to issue.” Somehow, though, he was able to keep his bookshop open and he did publish a small number of books up until his death. Interestingly, between 1912 and 1914 he published four books using his real name, Paul Ferdinando, on the imprint; the only time in his career he had ever done so.

The Perfumed Garden, For the soul’s Delectation, Translated from the Arabic of THE SHAYKH NAFZAWI (XV Saec.).The First of Three Volumes. “This is no baby’s book.” (Sir R. F. Burton.)PARIS and BENARES THE KAMASHASTRA SOCIETY 1907.PRIVATELY ISSUED: 4to. 281pp. Title page in red and black. Printed by Veuve Félix Guy et Cie in a limited edition of 1000 copies on laid, deckle-edged paper. Title and headings in red throughout. In original Publishers paper wraps, printed in red and black, (cover and spine) over plain card covers.

Not happy with this, images need replacing with accurate exposure.

FIRST DRAFT

An extremely rare clandestine Carrington, on which bibliographers have differing opinions, to some degree, it appears the an earlier clandestine edition with the same title was publishedby Brancart in 1893.A plain copy text only.
This Book despite its gray exterior is packed with glorious head and tail pieces and banners. An absolute swine to scan in, and appears darker on the post than it is in reality, due to my ongoing difficulties with imaging. I hope you like it anyway. Reading the text in some of the images will quickly give you a sense of just how explicit the book was and is.

A Town-Bull, or, the Elysian Fields. How Priapus blessed a poor man, made a living for him, and how, finally, a paradise for free-lovers was established where fathers and daughters, mothers and grandsons, brothers and sisters, white, brown and black cohabitated indiscriminately. Carnopolis [Paris]: Société des Bibliophiles, c.1899.

8vo. 125pp. Limited edition of 300 copies printed on smooth wove paper In original anonymous plain grey wrappers. In very good condition, slight age toning to gray wraps.

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.

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:-

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.

https://www.eroticabibliophile.com/publishers_carrington_m_o.php

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.

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].

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.

Another rare Carrington, with Van Maele illustrations, this one a fairly recent acquisition, and yet another example of the quality of Carrington publications, therefore as much attention given to text and page decorations as the illustrations.

This Book

This one is for the bibliophiles, no illustrations! A very rare item, effectively a pornographic novelette, written in letter form, a salacious account of an alleged visit by an English doctor to a convent prison in Siberia, where he witnesses and records the most severe of tortures and punishments to the female inmates, by which he finds himself extremely aroused, and following his departure from said institution seeks to re-enact his experience by employing prostitutes versed in the fetishist arts. Strong stuff not for the faint hearted. And yes it is in English, a French version was published in a compendium of flagellation material also by Carrington but minus the sexual content.

Title Page

Curious Sidelights of Social History: How Women are Flogged in Russian Prisons, Narrative of a Visit to a Convent Prison in Siberia, by an English Doctor. Paris, Librairie des Bibliophiles, 13 Faubourg Montmarte,1899. In original publishers paper wraps, printed in red and black on a salmon pink paper, over plain card covers. List of English Publications printed on back cover, interestingly this is clearly over-stamped “12 Jan 1903”, Title page duplicates the cover and is also printed in red and black. Contents. 12.07cm. x 19.69cm. xvii + 48pp. Printed on laid paper. Condition, Under a protective opaque sleeve, the book is complete, but shaken, stitching visible, in paper wrap, some light foxing to front cover and spine, Very Good.

This title is from the Michael Neal Collection

Back Cover

The date stamp, obviously a later addition at the top of the back cover is possibly another indication that the books were stored in sheets and wrappers added when a copy was ordered, thus explaining some confusion caused to bibliographers, when advertisements for titles often list books, printed years after the publication of the book under scrutiny.
