Amorial bookplate to front pastedown. Light scattered foxing largely confined to preliminary and terminal leaves; pages 161-162 partially detached but holding. A female-authored memoir that participates in both anti-Catholicism and convent-fetish eroticism it is somewhat scarce institutionally but is a rarity in trade with its most recent appearance at auction occurring a century ago. The present is the only example currently on the market. <br /> <br /> Frank in her delivery Henrietta Caracciolo recounts how her rise to young womanhood under the jealous eye of her mother -- combined with the untimely death of a sympathetic father -- led to her unwilling confinement in a Benedictine convent. Denied early opportunities for engaging in the courtship and marriage economy she longs to be a part of Henrietta Caracciolo instead is forced by her mother to repress her sexual identity and disappear into a life of solitude and chastity. What she finds there instead is a space of sexual abuse unexplained deaths illicit affairs physical abuse and theft. "My sole aim in writing these Memoirs has been to confirm" she writes in the preface "as far as lay in my power with the arguement drawn from fact the opportune and just decree of the Italian government in the suppression of Convents and to disabuse the minds of those if haply any such remain who deem these places the repositories of religious virtues." Timely social commentary in her native Italy her memoirs hit a different note in Protestant England where Catholic convents and monasteries had long been closed; indeed it participated in the anti-Catholic fetish fantasy of convents and monasteries as bastions of deviant and violent sexuality. She herself by the memoir's end emerges to a new and more promising life -- one which participates in popular Victorian cult of domesticity and motherhood which she positions as far more godly and fulfilling. Yet it also leaves open the door of female desire and sexual fulfilment. "By the side of a husband who adores me and to whom I respond with equal love I am where the Almighty placed woman at the close of Creation's first week."<br /> <br /> <br /> Register of Erotic Books 2950.

1830215738Japan. 1830 -1860. Folded black and white kawaraban woodblock with map showing Tokyo's red light districts. 30.3 x 39.4cm. Light rubbing in one place upper margin a little worming and small closed tear in lower margin. Sheet has been backed with washi. Good copy. This late Edo period kawaraban print provides a wealth of information on the diverse aspects of sexual behaviour and attraction between men and women during this era. Following the traditional kawaraban style the print offers a detailed and varied glimpse into the lives of the time. A fascinating map of Edo's red-light districts playfully drawn with phallus-shaped lines occupies the lower centre. Eight different types of sexual toys are displayed on the left while service fees for brothels are listed above the map. The print even delves into compatibility between the sexes based on zodiac signs along with methods for predicting a baby's sex before birth. During the Edo period eroticism was viewed as another form of popular entertainment particularly for men and was widely accepted as a pastime for adults. . unknown

1815G4JCUY01U79OFrance 1815. 20th-century red goatskin morocco sewn on 5 cords with the title "Gouaches érotiques" in gold in the 2nd of 6 spine compartments double-combed marbled endpapers pasted over the original marbled pastdown; spot pattern curled. 4to 26 x 21.5 cm. A matching set of 12 erotic drawings image area about 20 x 16 cm in coloured gouaches each showing a man and woman engaged in manual vaginal or oral sex in a richly furnished interior with furniture lamps clocks vases drapery mirrors books clothing architectural ornamentation etc. Each is drawn on thick paperboard and mounted on the album leaves. A matching set of 12 skilfully executed erotic gouache drawings in numerous colours each showing a naked or more often partly undressed young man and woman engaged in manual vaginal or oral sex. Each is set in an interior in at least most cases domestic most of them richly furnished. Though the drawings depict several different men and women some of them seem to appear in more than one drawing. One drawing appears to show a home library another includes a case full of books and two others have an open book lying on the floor. Another has the woman sitting on the man's lap before a writing desk with a quill pen in her hand. These may be intended to suggest that the man is the young lady's tutor and they got distracted from their lessons. The clothing suggests couples from fairly high social standing. The clothing architectural decoration furniture clocks lamps vases etc. much of it in Empire Style suggest a date around 1815 perhaps in France.The drawings are in good condition and the binding fine. unknown
