17564477Paris: s.n. 1756. 12mo 169 x 96 mm. 10 2 blank pages. Woodcut ornament on title. Title soiled. Extra-illustrated with three states of an engraved bust portrait of Mme. Pompadour in two states of which two avant la lettre one in black and one in sepia the latter on very thick paper and one with lettering Mme. de Pompadour. Jansenist blue-green morocco turn-ins gilt gilt edges silk ribbon marker 5 blank leaves at front and 6 at back spine slightly sunned. Provenance: Jules Noilly his gilt monogrammed booklabel sale Paris 15-20 March 1886 lot 432 lot ticket preserved.<br /> <br /> First and apparently only edition of a loosely constructed mildly satirical erotic poem almost a prose poem that pretends to be a self-celebration by Louis XV’s mistress friend and influential advisor Madame de Pompadour. <br /> <br /> Praising her own looks — her skin face eyes mouth and hair even her “two-storey chin†standards of beauty change she moves on to her intelligence wit lack of pretense carefully constructed and other attractions finally circling back to the most enticing part of all for the lascivious male. The culmination of the poem is a rather trite metaphorical description of her “private parts†as a welcoming grotto and the mounting excitement of the daydreaming poetess. In the last lines she shakes herself: “what am I saying where is the rhyme taking me†and she summons a cold shower in the form of “the sad reminder of a husband a mother a hunchbacked prelate and a battleaxe of an Abbess.†The first two references may be to Mme de Pompadour’s husband Charles-Guillaume Le Normant d'Étiolles and to her by then deceased mother Madeleine de La Motte; I have not identified the other two. <br /> <br /> An enlightened patron of literature and the arts Mme de Pompadour would have scoffed at this silly concoction but the generally complimentary if disrespectful tone of the piece implies that it may have been produced by someone in her circle. It is not a Poissonade in the classic sense. The pamphlet was sometimes bound with various editions of Mme de Pompadour’s equally apocryphal letters. <br /> <br /> The Parisian bibliophile Jules Noilly had this fine copy bound by Marius-Michel with three states of a small oval stipple-engraved portrait of Mme de Pompadour which he or the cataloguer of his collection described as “after Céroniâ€; cf.

9815A total of 17 panels with color-printed woodcuts one double-page & one four panels wide. Oblong 12mo 70 x 84 mm. orig. wooden boards orig. purple silk title label but no title! on upper cover. Japan: late 19th century.<br /> <br> <br> <br /> <br /> A very rare kind of shunga this is an example of a mitate an “appropriation of a classical source…then used to portray the modern urban demi-monde.â€â€“C. Andrew Gerstle “Shunga and Parody†in Timothy Clark et al. eds. Shunga. Sex and Pleasure in Japanese Art British Museum: 2013 p. 335.<br /> <br> <br> In this shunga the appropriation is the tea ceremony. The text is full of sexual puns. For example skill in the tea ceremony really means skill in sexual matters. Tea ceremony tools are actually references to sexual acts and techniques. The finely color-printed frontispiece panel depicts a haboki the feather brush used to arrange the ashes and a natsume a tea caddy.<br /> <br> <br> The next set of images shows three well-dressed men in a tea ceremony room receiving a tea ceremony performance from an equally distinguished-looking woman. However when one opens the flaps a four-panel scene is revealed where we see the same three men having an orgy with the woman.<br /> <br> <br> Each of the remaining ten images has in the upper outer corner a small image of tea ceremony tools or rituals including kuchikiri the breaking of the seal on a jar of new tea koboshi a vessel to drain the liquid after warming the tea bowl chausu a utensil to grind the tea leaves into a powder chawan tea bowl fukusa silk cloth used for ritual purification mizusashi fresh water container kama kettle hishaku bamboo ladle chasen tea whisk and natsume tea caddy. These are followed by ten panels of text explaining the sexual meaning of each tea ceremony implement.<br /> <br> <br> The ten images show various sex acts all referring to the tea ceremony tools. For example the kuchikiri image shows a man deflowering a virgin. The text below is a conversation between the two: The woman says “Please wait. I can’t handle it.†The man replies “The time has come. Stay still here it is. How does it feel†For the kama which is also slang for homosexuality we see an old man a monk having anal sex with a young male lover.<br /> <br> <br> The color printing is at a very high level with the use of embossing and metallic pigments and twice impressed black ink that gives a rich sheen. The woodblocks are very fresh: there is excellent definition of the strands of hair of both men and women.<br /> <br> <br> We suspect that this rare object was produced for the pleasure of a tea ceremony enthusiast.<br /> <br> <br> In very fine and fresh condition. We do not find this cited in any of the usual reference works. unknown

19701544New York: Grove Press Inc 1970. First Edition First Printing. Cloth and boards. Fine/Fine. Tomi Ungerer. 8vo black cloth with white lettering on spine and blue paper over boards Mylar-protected photographic dust jacket unclipped illustrated with salacious pornographic line drawings by Tomi Underer 104 pages & 105-286 pages. These two volumes of Victorian porn are illustrated by Tomi Ungerer a master of the Farthest-Out most grotesque kinkiest and unacceptable illustrations though often humorous in their outlandishness. At other times Ungerer made a career illustrating offbeat and somewhat more wholesome children's books. We offer this volume with trepidations but do so out of respect for freedom of expression and because no one seems to be hurt or damaged by sending on its way this outrageously written and very questionably illustrated volume.

Japan: late Edo.<br /> <BR> <BR> A fine erotic scroll with 12 paintings the well-known “set of 12“ format in vivid coloring depicting a range of sexual activities. As in many shunga handscrolls the paintings feature a sequence of lovemaking positions in no apparent order with no development simply presenting a variety of couplings and sexual techniques. All the participants in this scroll have Heian-period hairstyles and several of the couples are clearly aristocrats. In the scenes the copulating figures are outlined only in black ink while their private parts and robes are vividly colored.<br /> <BR> <BR> In one scene we see a lesbian couple. One of the women is disguised as a man and the other woman is tied up but able to insert a dildo in her companion’s vagina. Three of the scenes depict ménage à trois situations involving one man and two women. In one of these scenes the man is having intercourse with a woman who appears to be a nun while at the same time performing cunnilingus on a very young woman.<br /> <BR> <BR> Fine condition preserved in an old wooden box.<br /> <BR> <BR> â§ Akiko Yano “Shunga Paintings before the ‘Floating World’†in Timothy Clark et al. eds.

8539Scroll 210 x 3690 mm. endpapers of gold with silk brocade backing wooden roller. Japan: late Edo.<br /> <BR> <BR> This attractive scroll executed by a highly accomplished artist comprises of 12 erotic scenes the well-known “set of 12“ format in vivid coloring depicting a range of sexual activities. As in many shunga handscrolls the paintings feature a sequence of lovemaking positions in no apparent order. The scenes are finely painted with considerable detail employing much gold silver and other metallic pigments. Throughout the artist has used a fine brush to achieve great detail of fabric hair and faces. All the women have elaborate hairstyles and the kimono are very luxurious with many layers of fabric evident. We learn much about the variety of kimono and obi belts of the period.<br /> <BR> <BR> 1. The first scene shows a man with an erect penis seated behind a woman caressing her breasts underneath her kimono. The penis is highlighted with gold dust and one of the inner layers of her kimono is accentuated with the application of mica. Two maids or servants are seated on the other side of a screen listening attentively to the couple’s activities.<br /> <BR> <BR> 2. In this scene are travelers: a sword-carrying samurai and a woman both wearing walking sandals. They are taking a break and having an intimate moment the man penetrating the woman who is lying on her back on a roadside bench her broad-brimmed hat next to her. Behind them is a beautiful landscape of rice paddies. The folds of the woman’s kimono are finely expressed.<br /> <BR> <BR> 3. This is a very beautifully executed scene of a man and woman having sex underneath a collapsed summer mosquito net. The ability of the artist to show the activity of the couple through the netting is remarkable. The woman’s hair is extremely mussed.<br /> <BR> <BR> 4. A naked man and woman are having sex with another woman observing the activity through a sliding door. The inevitable tissues are nearby. There is a small wormhole.<br /> <BR> <BR> 5. An older court lady and a young man are having an intimate moment with him masturbating her. The artist has used much mica and gold. The numerous layers of the kimono are revealed. Small wormhole.<br /> <BR> <BR> 6. A prostitute is servicing a client in a brothel. Secretions are dripping from her vagina. The man’s head is concealed in their embrace. The paintings on the sliding doors are very beautiful. Tissues are nearby.<br /> <BR> <BR> 7. A naked man is masturbating a woman on an outside deck. The woman is wearing an open kimono. A harp is nearby.<br /> <BR> <BR> 8. This beautiful scene situated just outside of a tea ceremony room shows a man and woman engaged in sex. They are clearly having a secret meeting. Her kimono is extremely luxurious. We see a small part of the next room with a silver wall.<br /> <BR> <BR> 9. A man and woman are engaged in sex. The man is wearing a business kimono and in the background are fine pictorial screens.<br /> <BR> <BR> 10. A man and a woman both naked are engaged in sex while a “Peeping Thomasina†observes.<br /> <BR> <BR> 11. In this scene a man and four women are having an orgy. He is masturbating two woman while penetrating another. Her vaginal secretions indicate the fourth woman has already had sex with the man.<br /> <BR> <BR> 12. This scene shows a man and woman in the missionary position. In the background is a most beautiful silk screen painted in gold depicting two cranes. There is another room with sake containers suggesting this scene takes place in a brothel.<br /> <BR> <BR> Fine condition preserved in a black lacquerware box with gold images and a metal clasp which has an unidentified family crest in the shape of a Paulownia tree.

9739Scroll 320 x 5250 mm. silk-brocade front outer endpaper with floral drawing in color at beginning wooden core roller. Japan: after 1823.<br /> <br> <br> <br /> <br /> The 12 finely rendered erotic drawings present on this scroll in the famous “set of 12†format have been attributed on the manuscript label of the scroll’s box to ChÅkyÅsai Eiri active 1790s-1801 a little known pupil of Hosoda Eishi 1756-1829 who for some years was an equal rival to Utamaro. ChÅkyÅsai Eiri produced an album of 13 large-size color woodblock prints entitled Fumi no kiyogaki Neat Version of the Love Letter or Pure Drawings of Female Beauty 1801 see Clark et al. Shunga pp. 310-11 & 400-01 for two images in the series and their descriptions.<br /> <br> <br> The underdrawings for six of the prints in the series drawings 1 2 3 5 partial 7 and 12 including the well-known image of two women using a dildo together are present. Drawings 8 9 10 and 11 can be identified as images from Hokusai’s FukujusÅ Adonis Flower ca. 1822-23. The remaining two drawings are independent images that might have appeared in other publications. The artist has placed small manuscript annotations on the images regarding colors.<br /> <br> <br> In spite of the manuscript information on the box’s label we believe these are highly skilled later copies.<br /> <br> <br> Fine condition.<br /> <br /> <br> <br> References<br /> <br> <br> Akiko Yano “Shunga Paintings before the ‘Floating World’†in Timothy Clark et al. eds.
