1815G4JCUY01U79OFrance 1815. 20th-century red goatskin morocco sewn on 5 cords with the title "Gouaches érotiques" in gold in the 2nd of 6 spine compartments double-combed marbled endpapers pasted over the original marbled pastdown; spot pattern curled. 4to 26 x 21.5 cm. A matching set of 12 erotic drawings image area about 20 x 16 cm in coloured gouaches each showing a man and woman engaged in manual vaginal or oral sex in a richly furnished interior with furniture lamps clocks vases drapery mirrors books clothing architectural ornamentation etc. Each is drawn on thick paperboard and mounted on the album leaves. A matching set of 12 skilfully executed erotic gouache drawings in numerous colours each showing a naked or more often partly undressed young man and woman engaged in manual vaginal or oral sex. Each is set in an interior in at least most cases domestic most of them richly furnished. Though the drawings depict several different men and women some of them seem to appear in more than one drawing. One drawing appears to show a home library another includes a case full of books and two others have an open book lying on the floor. Another has the woman sitting on the man's lap before a writing desk with a quill pen in her hand. These may be intended to suggest that the man is the young lady's tutor and they got distracted from their lessons. The clothing suggests couples from fairly high social standing. The clothing architectural decoration furniture clocks lamps vases etc. much of it in Empire Style suggest a date around 1815 perhaps in France.The drawings are in good condition and the binding fine. unknown

1823007166London: Thomas M'Lean 1823. Second Edition. Full Straight-Grained Morocco. Very Good. Folio 37 by 26.5 cm. Title one page Preface List of Plates followed by 64 leaves half of which are the hand-colored plates. Each plate accompanied on a separate leaf with an English description on the recto one in French on the verso. The plates are not merely scenery but generally genre scenes depicting Italians at play at work going about their lives. The book is far more interesting in our view then contemporaneous color plate books about costume or of scenic views. Contemporary full red morocco binding. Binding has scuffs and some abrasions but remains attractive. Spine rebacked with original spine mostly preserved and pasted onto matching red morocco used in the reback. The reback in other words is not overly conspicuous. Corners bumped slightly and typical edgewear. Light foxing within along edges generally but text and plates still bright fresh and mostly clean.
