17425133London: Printed for W. Webb 1742. First edition. Bound to style in 19th century sheep with morocco and gilt to spines. Measuring 168 x 96mm and with occasional mispagination but collating complete: xxiv 300; 2 336. Some offsetting to preliminary and terminal leaves and occasional light foxing and marginal chips not affecting text; discreet archival repairs to short tear on pages 115-116 and long tear to 285-286 of volume I preserving all text. Early amateur cloth tape repair to recto of front endpaper to volume II. Pinholes to lower spines of both volumes with minor associated worming to the lower front hinges. A scarce example of early erotic literature centered on London's famous courtesans ESTC lists only 6 copies with institutions. The present copy aside the last example to appear at auction was in 1882. <br /> <br /> Published two years apart the two volumes of Memoirs of the Nobility are different in their approaches to London's elite including the infamous Great Impures who hosted the wealthiest men in their parlours and their beds. Volume I launches its readers into a thinly veiled satire wherein the protagonist Aloisa visits the mythical kingdom of Thule. During her tour on arrival Aloisa discovers a city of extreme decadence whose cast of characters would be familiar to most Londoners indeed the copy housed at the British Museum has contemporary annotations from William Cole denoting some of the avatars' real-life identities. "there was scarce a Thing as a Virgin of twenty Years of Age to be found in all the Island.all was flaming Lust; and from the Court to the Cottage all had their Share in amorous Intrigues." While sexual violence is rampant in Thule Aloisa's host the Chevalier Faire-Franc informs her of numerous girls assaulted and left pregnant by the son of the new Lord Chancellor for example much of the kingdom's activities center on the sex trade. Ambition and wealth drive residents "to get Money which at Night they as lavishly spend" at various houses of pleasure. In these descriptions readers visit the brothels of such real-life bawds as Mother Elizabeth Wisebourn here called Madona who dresses as a nun to recruit girls and uses medicine and magic to "restore" their virginity and continuously demand the highest prices -- a practice she infamously used to market her girls particularly Sally Salisbury and Sally Lodge before they rose to success in their own rights. Nearby Miss Edwards of Kensington possibly Kitty Fisher or Lucy Cooper resides "in open Fornication" yet "defies all Scandal." A string of famous men -- authors dignitaries and gentry -- are also exposed for their engagement with courtesans their elopements and their affairs. <br /> <br /> By volume II these details fade and the stories shift toward a more general erotic fantasy. But both notably participate in celebrating and expressing anxiety about the growing power of London's sex trade. With estimates of London's sex workers ranging widely from 8600-80000 it was undeniable that a vast portion of the population was engaged in sex-for-money whether as a provider or consumer Rogers. The money and public influence of courtesans like Kitty Fisher Lucy Cooper Sally Salisbury Sophia Baddeley Mary Robertson and others highlighted how women who defined traditional marriage economies could carve out their own wealth independence and community. <br /> <br /> ESTC T75813.

18645626London: Richard Bentley 1864. First English language edition. Contemporary half calf over marbled boards with morocco label to spine. All edges marbled. Marbled endpapers. Measuring 179 x 119mm and collating complete including photographic frontis: x 374. A square tight copy with some loss to upper spine label and gentle rubbing to boards. 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.

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

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.
