Peter Weiermair Orden de los libros

The watercolors, drawings and print portfolios presented in this publication are not only outstanding examples of their genre, but also an invaluable documentation of social mores and cultural history from the 17th century onwards. These works of erotic art from all over Europe are part of a major private collection built up over a period of many years. The main focus of this particular selection is on lesser known and rarely published material, open to a wide range of possible interpretation. In tracing the history of taboo, secrecy and prohibition, this book gives its readers access to material previously available only to scholars and specialists.

Bound in the publisher's original cloth over boards, spine stamped in white. Top fore edge corners are bumped. Dust jacket has light wear at the extremities. Illustrated throughout with 92 full-page black-and-white plates. English language version. Edited by Peter Weiermair.
