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.

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

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.

7719Scroll 300 x 4150 mm. with pale green silk borders & endpapers wooden core roller. Japan: n.d. but probably early Edo.<br/> <br/> This is a fine example of an erotic scroll anonymously painted as usual but with great skill. The scroll contains ten scenes of men sometimes samurai and women engaged in various sexual activities. Two of the scenes are threesomes one of which shows a young samurai copulating with two older women. The hairstyles of both the women and men are typical of the pleasure courts of the early Edo period.<br/> <br/> Erotic paintings in Japan have a long tradition established well before the Edo period. “Many aspects regarding the production of early paintings with sexual content — when where and by whom they were made how they were appreciated — are still obscure…There was apparently a radical change in the form of erotic handscrolls from around 1600 onwards when paintings with a sequence of twelve our example has ten erotic scenes became common…Each scene in handscrolls of this type does not normally show any clear relationship with the adjacent scenes nor is there usually any development other than presenting a variety of couplings and sexual techniques. Each group of copulating figures exists within its own enclosed space set against a plain or simply decorated background as if functioning as an example of a possible sexual position…<br/> <br/> “Shunga handscrolls of the seventeenth century are not usually signed…The production of shunga paintings during the seventeenth century was considerable and widespread involving artists who ranged from the elite official schools to popular town painters…Shunga painting remained an important genre in terms of both quality and quantity right up until the modern era and should no longer be excluded from the study of Japanese art and the broader study of the humanities.â€â€“Akiko Yano “Shunga Paintings before the ‘Floating World’†in Timothy Clark et al. eds. Shunga. Sex and Pleasure in Japanese Art British Museum: 2013 pp. 62 & 70-72.<br/> <br/> The paintings are richly detailed with metallic pigments elaborately detailed hairstyles liberal use of a thick white pigment giving a 3D effect to fabrics and sprays of gold and mica.<br/> <br/> In very good condition preserved in a nice old wooden box. Several of the paintings have minor abrading affecting the pigments. There is some unimportant occasional worming carefully backed on verso. unknown
8670Scroll 290 x 4780 mm. with gold paper inner endpaper at front wooden core roller. Japan: n.d. but late Edo or early Meiji.<br /> <BR> <BR> A fine example of an erotic scroll anonymously painted as usual but with great skill. The scroll contains 12 erotic scenes painted on silk the well-known “set of 12“ format of men and women engaged in various sexual activities. As in many shunga hand scrolls the paintings feature a sequence of lovemaking positions in no apparent order.<br /> <BR> <BR> The figures are drawn to express a fluidity of movement passion and pleasure. The accomplished artist has used delicate shading to heighten the scenes. The kimono are richly decorated. In several scenes the women’s pleasure is expressed by curled toes and fingers. The paintings are richly detailed with metallic pigments elaborately rendered hairstyles and renderings of luxurious kimono fabrics.<br /> <BR> <BR> Erotic paintings in Japan have a long tradition established well before the Edo period. “Many aspects regarding the production of early paintings with sexual content — when where and by whom they were made how they were appreciated — are still obscure…There was apparently a radical change in the form of erotic hand scrolls from around 1600 onwards when paintings with a sequence of twelve erotic scenes became common…Each scene in hand scrolls of this type does not normally show any clear relationship with the adjacent scenes nor is there usually any development other than presenting a variety of couplings and sexual techniques.
