We can’t be absolutely sure that Épices: Réflexions sur quelques à-côtés de l’amour destinées à des personnes expérimentées (Spices: Thoughts on Various Aspects of Love for Experienced Folk) is by Collot, as the drawings and portfolio are unsigned, but they bear a strong resemblance to the 31 Devises of 1945, and if they are not by Collot they certainly seem designed to look like it. Though the portfolio is dated 1955, there is some evidence from separate prints that at least some date from around 1950, and the humour is typical of the period.

In addition to the 24 hand-coloured plates, and in many ways more interesting and accomplished, there is a matching set of monochrome drawings with extensive remarques, small related drawings surrounding the main image such that each ‘story’ is expanded and contextualised. There are also colour and monochrome versions of another illustration, titled ‘Le petit coin tranquille’ (The quiet little corner), and an original pencil sketch of two nuns and an interested bystander, who may or may not be flashing.

Here are the captions for the 24 illustrations:
