19311238081931. Luxembourg: Privately Printed n.d. but Paris: Guibal c.1931. <br /> <br /> 4to 214 pp. With 53 color pochoir illustrations. Original printed wrappers binding cracked and shaken but just holding wrappers unevenly sunned internally fine.<br /> <br /> § Privately published in an unknown edition. Worldcat lists copies only at Yale and the Bibliothèque nationale de France although it is not rare in commerce. This copy from the library of Gershon Legman. A collection of fifty bawdy ballads beginning with the venerable and obscene "Les Trois Orfevres a la Saint Eloi." In the forward the compiler under the pseudonym "Vidame de Bozegie" explains the book was demanded by subscribers to his previous work 3 Orfèvres à la Saint-Èloi privately printed in Paris in 1930 who welcomed it as a monument de la chanson étudiant but lamented the lack of printed music. <br /> <br /> In this volume he presents fifty of "the best songs" in "a luxury edition on beautiful paper illustrated with color drawings worthy of a bibliophile." The music for each song is illustrated by pochoir. <br /> The author goes on to state: "I have avoided giving the illustrations an erotic character. They are obviously saucy but do not shock too-puritan eyes. I believe them to be worthy of the text." Puritan eyes would probably disagree in the strongest possible terms but it is true that alongside the lyrics the illustrations are comparatively restrained. <br /> <br /> Gershon Legman the great bibliographer of erotica erotic folklore and origami attributed the work to Edmond Bernard who was responsible for other significant collections of erotic folksongs. See Legman G. "Erotic Folksongs and Ballads: An International Bibliography." The Journal of American Folklore vol. 103 no. 410 1990: 417-501 referencing his own presumably this copy: "Copy: G. Legman. Edited by Edmond Dardenne Bernard as a supplement to his Anthologie Hospitaliere et Latinesque 1911-13 and its partial reprinting in 1930 as Trois <br /> Orfevres a la Saint-Eloi. Gives the musical notation apparently for the first time for these "Chansons de Salles de Garde" all later printed music for these except that of STAUB q.v. being largely derived from this edition and not collected in the field. unknown

195485563Sceaux: Chez Jean-Jacques Pauvert 1954. Octavo. 18.5cm. Publisher's yellow paper wraps titled in black to spine and front cover. 243pp. Clean and bright with a dent to the head of the spine and a little soiling to the rear panel; internally clean with tape residue on flyleaves from a glassine jacket which is present but torn at the head of the rear panel edges untrimmed. A very good pleasing copy. This copy being #506 of a limitation of 1000 copies on Vergé paper in French printed between April and June of 1954. <br /> <br /> Desclos's incandescent erotic milestone essentially an extended letter of lust to Jean Paulhan who contributed the preface. Desclos's identity was secret until the 1990's when she eventually revealed herself. Paulhan was a devotee of the works of De Sade and allegedly teased Desclos with the statement that no woman could write like De Sade. Desclos accepted the challenge and "Histoire D'O" manages to meet all the expectations of someone seeking a more modern incarnation of Sadeian fiction whilst still containing many elements that have become genre tropes; secret societies arcane rituals deserted manor houses and a number of other qualities that suggest that this kind of lush heady erotic fiction is essentially gothic romance with the gloves off and the gratuitously tightened corsetry on. The location of the remote manor house of iniquity and depravity or freedom if you prefer is given as Samois sur Seine and the name "Samois" was adopted by the first American lesbian BDSM collective in the late 1970's. Laid into this copy is a newspaper photograph of Paulhan resplendent in his uniform as a Sergeant in the Zouaves. The first English language edition was published by Olympia in 1965 and any early printing in either language can be considered collectable. Chez Jean-Jacques Pauvert unknown
