A mystery artist – can you help?
16th December 2022
‘Renée Ringel’ is a French artist who illustrated several erotic titles in the 1940s and 50s, including Ovid, Boccaccio and the Claudine novels. It’s clearly the pseudonym of a reasonably talented artist, but beyond that we know nothing ... do you? All leads and ideas gratefully received.
Miniature mistresspieces

Small is sometimes very beautiful! The exquisite enamels of British artist Geraldine Swayne capture the essence of sensuality and risqué pleasure in suggestive minimalism. See her work now by clicking here – and imagine!
Heaven or hell?
12th December 2022
Today we give you a rare opportunity to imagine the western tradition of erotic art seen through the lens of a skilled Chinese artist. In Eden, Li Xiaoxuan offers a vision of paradise in which Eve’s naked beauty is ignored by a materialist world – see the whole portfolio by clicking here.
Song of Songs
9th December 2022
A new portfolio today from one of our all-time favourite artists, the master engraver Alméry Lobel-Riche – it’s his 1947 plates for the biblical Song of Songs. Classic Lobel-Riche. See them now by clicking here, and join in the song of love!
Women are powerful, and a bit scary!
8th December 2022
Compared with the amount of in-your-face art featuring rampant male genitalia, depictions of the female equivalent are rare. In Caroline Sury’s hand, though, pen and ink offer a powerful collection of women taking delight in showing us everything they have down below. See her work now by clicking here.
A mystery solved
7th December 2022
So it turns out that the enigmatic ‘Maurice Charroux’, who illustrated a series of erotic texts in the 1960s, was actually the well-known Dutch comic artist Georges Mazure, operating under a pseudonym, and you can see his work now by clicking here. Many thanks to one of our wonderful followers for spotting the connection!
Explicit education
1st December 2022
Sometimes it’s a pleasure to find a new portfolio from one of our all-time favourite illustrators; this morning it’s a 1934 collection by the prolific Luc Lafnet for Histoires Raides – ‘Robust Tales for Young Girls’. See it now by clicking here, and be educated!
