191385169Chicago: O. M. Heath & Co 1913. First Edition. First printing. Octavo 19cm. Purple ribbed cloth spine and cover titles in gilt; 3031pp; portrait frontispiece and five unnumbered leaves of photographic plates halftones. A tight clean copy free of markings with just a hint of sunning to spine cloth; very Near Fine. <br /> <br /> A collection of six short tales each intended to illustrate a different aspect of "the prevalence of degeneracy in the modern era" jacket. Composts of Tradition was self-published and marketed aggressively in contemporary periodicals including The Masses and Pearson's; one such advertisement in the January 1915 issue of Pearson's outlines the book's intention: "It is not a book for prudes either male or female. It is a book for aggressive and advanced thinkers. Among other doctrines it advocates: 1 Sterilization of physical social and mental defectives; 2 Annihilation of the stigma attached to the bar-sinister; 3 Encouragement of reproduction upon the part of the fit; 4 Maintenance of all children by society; 5 Monogamy but marriage ceremonies to be optional not obligatory; 6 Divorce by collusion." At least one of the stories "Maid of the Neptunian Strand" has fantasy elements. <br /> <br /> Oscar Morrill Heath c.1872-1952 was a Chicago secondary school teacher and lecturer-for-hire on social subjects; beginning about 1905 through at least the 1920s we lose sight of him around 1930 he was the proprietor of a Chicago correspondence school for schoolteachers The Cultural Review School through whose auspices he issued a few ephemeral publications as well as a monthly magazine Teaching As A Profession. Additionally thanks to the trade card mounted in the front we know that Heath was the proprietor of at least two Chicago beauty parlors. From contemporary newspaper acccounts it appears that the current work landed Heath at least temporarily in hot water; the Chicago Tribune for November 6 1913 includes an article stating that Heath's status as an instructor at Englewood High School was "under review" pending publication of a book that was "critical of the nuptial bond" and seemed to condone childbirth out of wedlock. It is quite possible that Heath lost his position over the book as in subsequent years we find him advertising his services as a freelance instructor in a variety of topics including a review course in math for candidates to Army Officers' Candidate School during WW1. <br /> <br /> Despite its fetching title the current work is somewhat uncommon with fewer than 20 locations in OCLC most apparently in circulating collections.

19821913<p>First Edition. 72 pp. illustrated program book for an event officially known as The Scholar and the Feminist : Toward a Politics of Sexuality held on Saturday April 24 1982 at The Women's Center now the Barnard Center for Research on Women. 8vo. Very good. Illus. Glossy wrappers slightly creased. 1772</p><p><em>A landmark document of the so-called "feminist sex wars" of the 1980s most copies of this conference program were preemptively seized and destroyed by Barnard College officials under pressure from activists associated with Women Against Pornography WAP. The episode remains a hotspot of conflicting allegations and rumor. Leading up to the date of the conference Ellen V. Futter then President of Barnard College became the focal point of an anti-pornography phone call campaign by WAP members and their allies. In response to the calls College officials confiscated 1500 copies of the Diary hours before the event was scheduled to begin. The booklet which had been intended for distribution to conference attendees consists of steering committee minutes personal narratives information about conference events and sex-positive artwork by feminist illustrators including erotic images that had provoked the ire of anti-pornography crusaders. Examples rarely surface.</em></p> [Barnard College Women's Center]

1923004061Munchen: Verlag Albert Langen 1923. Geschichte Der Erotischen Kunst by Eduard Fuchs History of Erotic Art Das individuelle problem mit 350 abbildungen und 51 beilagen. The individual problem with 350 illustrations and 51 supplements. Volume one only. This is a very rare title. We have been unable to identify another copy offered for sale. Eduard Fuchs 1870 - 1940 was a writer and art collector. He combined his research writing and art collecting to produce a six-volume work Sittengeschichte Moral History and three volume Die Frau in der Karikatur The Woman in the Cartoon. Fuchs was a prolific collector of the artist Honore-Victorin Daumier 1808 - 1879 a French caricaturist cartoonist lithographer painter and sculptor and produced three volumes of his works. In addition to the vast Daumier collection Fuchs also owned a significant number of works by Max Slevogt. Fuchs was financially successful through the publication of his works whose popularity was due in part because of their content of erotic art. Fuchs and his Jewish second wife Margarete fled from Germany to Paris in February 1933 after coming under attack from the Nazi party. They were able to take only a few art works with them. Later that year Fuchs' collection which had remained in Germany was seized by the Nazis. The Nazis banned and burned Fuchs' books. Part of the art collection was returned to Fuchs' who remained in exile in Paris but his daughter from his first marriage was forced to auction off the collection between 1937-1938. There have been multiple projects to identify and recover the Fuchs' Collection. Only a small number of pieces have been recovered.
