A classic, “Orties Blanches” , by one of its house authors and illustrated by one of the best designers of the genre, the artist-painter Léo Fontan (1884 1965) who was noted for drawing the covers of the first Arsène Lupine title, at Lafitte. He worked wonders in frivolous magazines like La Vie Parisienne and Fantasio. His rare incursions into, flogging literature are notable for the amusing elegance, that characterized his style. He uses a lot of humour to illustrate scenes of spankings between ladies of the world and disobedient maids. In this obsessed text, who take pleasure in the joys of flogging. They are refusals and feminine resistance and blushing, most of the time but there is also the naked rear of a cheeky florist youth too. Chapter VII is titled “The Atmosphere Hot”: it is valid for the whole book. The novel is followed by a correspondence section consisting of nine letters from readers. Two of them reveal a definite interest for the enema (with two insets by Fontan). First edition. Beautiful copy
