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

1881QQ0306Macmillan and Co 1881. Full red cloth black decor and lettering to front board and spine; black publisher's insignia to rear board. Much worn: spine darkened; boards bubbled and tide-marked at base. 8vo. Front hinge slightly slack. Front endpapers cracked at gutter; rear endpapers likewise with rear free endpaper now attached to inside rear board at base thanks to water damage. Pictorial bookplate of Edward Chesterton father of Cecil and G. K. Chesterton to inside front board with pen inscription to verso of front free endpaper: 'E. C. from M. M. J.' or M. M. F. Oct-Birth-/82'. Pencil annots to blank verso of half-title: what appear to be street or house names S. Parade Seaview and lists of times: these have every appearance of being notes taken in a professional capacity by Edward Chesterton who worked as an estate agent. Pencil annots in a child's hand to publisher's advertisement pages to rear: lists of words with their French German Latin and Greek translations perhaps the work of one of the young Chestertons G. K. Chesterton would have been 8 in 1882. To recto of rear free endpaper is a pencil sketch of a flamingo with an inordinately long neck tied in knots together with an Edward Lear-esque beetle-man with spectacles and antennae. These could be the work of either an older G. K. Chesterton an inveterate sketcher in book-margins or of his father of whom Chesterton notes in his 1937 autobiography that 'I have inherited or I hope imitated his habit of drawing' p. 41: the bookplate at the front of the vol. which has signature E. C. is almost certainly his design. G. K. Chesterton was later to write memorably on De Quincey as 'the first and most powerful of the decadents' in his 1913 'The Victorian Age in Literature' p. 24. Whether the drawings here are by father or son they stand as testament to their shared delight in the fanciful and fantastic. Robust packaging. Tracking can be added to overseas orders on request.

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 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.
