None of this significant because THE GLORIOUS BINDINGS LUSTROUS AND UNWORN.<br/> <br/> Despite their scholarly titles which promise scenes from the private lives of the 12 Caesars and secrets from an ancient Roman cult these are among the most famous erotic books of the 18th century. In the first volume the 12 Roman emperors from Julius Caesar to Domitian are depicted engaged in a panoply of intimate acts beginning with Julius Caesar's liaison with King Nicomedes IV of Bithynia which led his enemies to dub him "Queen of Bithynia." We see what Caesar's heir Augustus was willing to do in order to succeed his great-uncle and his later sexual excesses as emperor including incest. Antony and Cleopatra are relatively demure compared to the orgies of Caligula Nero and Claudius' wife Messalina. The "Secret Cult of Roman Women" examined in the companion work is devoted to the fertility god Priapus and his phallic symbols with guest appearances by assorted satyrs nymphs and Bacchantes. The images are white-on-black to resemble sculptured wall medallions and claim to be based on ancient carvings; however Cohen-de Ricci informs us that while the text is evidence of d'Hancarville's erudition the illustrations are entirely the result of his libertine imagination. Art historian Pierre-François Hugues Baron d'Hancarville 1719-1805 established himself in the world of antiquarians when he helped William Hamilton acquire the impressive Porcinari collection of Etruscan Greek and Roman antiquities that would subsequently be purchased by the British Museum. He then supervised the production of four sumptuous volumes of engravings documenting the collection. He seems to have undertaken the present work for his own amusement. A later issue of the second title facetiously attributed publication to the Imprimerie de Vatican the Church had of course put it on the Index of Prohibited Books. According to Cohen-de Ricci this is the first and most desirable printing identifiable by 11 rather than 10 lines of text on the title page of the first work and by the use of the f-like "long s" in both volumes. The especially splendid bindings by Francisque Cuzin 1836-90 nod to the Rococo bindings of the 18th century and to the risqué subject matter with satyrs cavorting about the elegant frame. Cuzin opened his Paris workshop in 1855 and soon made his name among bibliophiles of that city with his exquisite bindings establishing what was called the "Cuzin style." Devauchelle says that this style was copied by Cuzin's colleagues but was never equalled. Cuzin was not a gilder but employed some of the best in the trade to execute his graceful designs among them Marius Michel père Wampflug Maillard and Cuzin's eventual successor Émile Mercier. Our copy was once in the library of the distinguished French statesman Léon Gambetta 1838-82 one of the founders of the Third Republic who served as president of the Chamber of Deputies.

36477probably England 20th century. An 18th century scene showing a man and woman in elaborate dress surprised in a boudoir by another woman entering the room. 4 inches in diameter. Glazed and framed in black wood and gilt metal frame of earlier date. An 18th century scene showing a man and woman in elaborate dress surprised in a boudoir by another woman entering the room. 4 inches in diameter. An amusing jeu d'esprit very possibly done by the artist to oblige the owner of a old and previously empty frame. The elegant scene is not very lacivious--everybody is fully dressed although the surprised lady who turns away from the evidently unwelcome visitor shows a fair amount of leg and the gentleman is holding his tricorn hat in what might be regarded as a somewhat compromising position. The artist an Englishman born at the end of the 19th century studied with the eminent Walter Sickert and went on to exhibit landscapes and portraits at various prestigious venues in England and France. unknown

Contemporary half calf over marbled boards measuring 168 x 100mm and collating complete: 20 338; 12 324. A square copy with joints professionally renewed; some chipping to spine labels and gentle shelfwear to boards. Faint dampstaining to lower corner of contents in volume I and paper loss to upper corner of pages 203-204 affecting 9 lines each. Volume II overall clean with long archivally reinforced tear to pages 131-132 and paper loss to lower corner of pages 171-172 with no text loss in either case. An exceptionally scarce fantastical travel narrative with erotic content published by notorious Grub Street writer and demi-monde ally Samuel Derrick. ESTC locates only three copies at institutions BL Columbia and UCLA and of the three copies to appear in the modern auction record the most recent was in 1941. The present is the only example on the market. <br /> <br /> In a 1763 review in The Critical Review or Annals of Literature vol. 15 Samuel Derrick's Collection of Travels is derided as a book for "those who read merely for amusement and care not for turning up the huge collection of voyages traveled by Purchas Churchill Astley Harris &c" due to its "total neglect of dates total want of maps a strange perversion of names a general lack of precision or accuracy." These same reviewers make a dismissive nod to how "the adventures of captain John Smith savour strongly of romance" and suggest that the work "does not seem to have been intended so much for serious reading as for pleasing the imagination" but they fail to grasp just how much this is the case. No matter how deeply Samuel Derrick sought to portray himself as a participant in London's intelligentsia he was ultimately a Grub Street hack who "wrote to eat" and not from "any great artistic urge" Rubenhold. Having learned early on that "hacks and whores shared much common ground" Derrick became not only a "gentleman defender" and friend to several of London's demi-monde he also used their escapades as inspiration for his writing and his writing to promote their reputations and services.<br /> <br /> Such is the case with the present work designed for stoking the reader's fantasies and for lining the author and publisher's pockets. Among "the period's richest funds of data erotica and pornography permeated the culture.and the 18th century bookshop" Pettit and Spedding. Works operating under the thin guises of travel law medicine politics history or religion presented readers across genders with graphic depictions not only of cis-gendered and heterosexual encounters but even more often with scenes that cenered queer polyamorous and female pleasure. In the case of Collection of Travels Derrick used preexisting popular travel narratives as the backdrop for his main work: depicting sexual behaviors common within London's sex trade but setting them within exotic locales. Within volume I for example his explorers encounter "the prostitution of the women of Camul and their hospitable reception of strangers" "the common use of women" in Thebet rites of "marriages of the people of Servia" and the "wives and concubines" of Constantinople including how they are valued how virginity is tried and how they are punished. The second volume builds on this including such content as the "courtezans of Persia" the "women lewd" of Turkey and "the usage of their wives" in Algiers. Given his own appreciation for the power of the sex workers in his own life -- notably Lucy Cooper Kitty Fisher and Charlotte Hayes -- he also includes a section on "the authority of the women in this country" of the Congo. <br /> <br /> One of Derrick's few stand-alone multi-volume works to be published and a rarity in the collecting areas of erotic literature and travel fiction. <br /> <br /> ESTC T135777.

Offsetting to outer margins of title and of pages 198-203 not affecting text; lower corner of dedication leaf neatly excised with no loss to text; marginal paper flaw to pages 45-46. Overall internally unmarked and clean. One of two equally scarce variants with no priority the other printed by J. Bird. ESTC reports only one surviving copy of each both of these held by the British Library of these only the Bird variant is digitized. Neither these first issues nor the later re-issue titled Cupid Turned Spy appear in the modern auction record. An exceptionally rare work. <br /> <br /> The widespread cultural assertion that men had control over their own fates led to equally widespread anxiety in the seventeenth and eighteenth century. Despite a preponderance of laws and traditions that privileged men and sought to subjugate women and queer peoples sex outside the boundaries of marriage undermined those systems. Few figures encapsulate this truth better than the cuckold. "Cuckolds were seen as being unable to satisfy and control their wives; as literary tropes "they are more often than not the target of derision to both their peers on the stage and the audience the theatre nearly universally to be greeted with laughter as they follow a predictable path of failure in marriage" Corcoran. As much as these figures assisted male audience members in projecting their fears onto allegedly weaker men they signify that complete control over women marriages and lines of inheritance isn't possible. The denial of women's agency does not equate the complete absence of women's agency.<br /> <br /> Women's sexual agency had become highly visible in key sectors of London society by the eighteenth century thanks in part to the rise of a famed generation of courtesans often called the "demi-monde" who dominated not only their own brothels and houses but also theatres opera houses and the court itself. Sex work more generally had become extremely common with studies estimating that anywhere from 8600 to 80000 citizens of the city were engaged in some level of the sex trade Rogers. In this atmosphere depictions of the cuckold shifted in some erotic works. Rather than symbolizing men's sexual failures the cuckold's acceptance of his position acknowledged and at times even celebrated women's sexual autonomy. If being cuckolded was inevitable as a result of women's equal participation in sexual desire then fault might not lie with the cuckold. Indeed being a cuckold may even have benefits when more conservative social judgment is set aside.<br /> <br /> Authored by the pseudonymous "Cornuto" -- a Latin joke naming the author after the cuckold's "horn" -- Cuckoldom Triumphant is dedicated to the gentry noting "the amazing encrease of antlers of late among the nobility whose customs the common people are so fond of copying which gives me the pleasing promise of cuckoldom's becoming universal." Indeed the author notes cuckoldom is inevitable and each must choose his own reaction to the state. To that end "this work is intended to comfort the afflicted and confirm the contented among those who are married as well as prepare the unmarried for the happy state of cuckoldom." In what follows the author provides readers with a sensational erotic story following the awakening of Mrs. Latitat to the pleasures of extramarital sexuality as well as her husband's transformation from jealous resistance to acceptance and contentment within a more peaceful marital state. <br /> <br /> ESTC T62268 T226126 for the J.
