What’s new
What the butler saw …
15th June 2021
Good morning all! Back from our seaside holiday much refreshed and generally more optimistic. Today’s new portfolio is an early one from the ever-popular André Collot, his 1927 Les voyeurs, which you can see here. No doubting what was on his mind …
When knickers were new and exciting …
6th June 2021
Two lovely new Hérouard portfolios today for all you lovers of vintage frilly knickers – Their Knickers: How They Wear Them from 1923, and The Jewel Case from 1939. My goodness, Hérouard knew how to tantalise his audience! See them now here.
Safe from the storm?
4th June 2021
A cautionary tale today from Otto Schatz, a dark visual narrative from post-war Vienna mirroring the unsure security of the time as well as some very non-consensual sex. See it here, and be suitably shocked.
A thank you present?
2nd June 2021
A lovely new Otto Schatz portfolio today, Das Besuch (The Visit), probably a 1946 commission from a Russian officer after Schatz’s release from internment camp. Enjoy all the drawings in the series here.
Beastly – or Beautiful?
31st May 2021
Happy summer’s day everyone. We’ve just added the complete set of illustrations for Nicole Claveloux’s wonderful adult reworking of Beauty and the Beast – what an incredible artist. See them all now here. Be excited and inspired!
A mystery portfolio of colourful intimacy
28th May 2021
After yesterday’s images of youthful intimacy from Robert Auer, today we have a 1915 portfolio with a similar style – but with Zichy signatures. Yet Zichy was long dead, and they are clearly not by him. A pastiche, a fraud? See Souvenir de Jeunesse here.
Young love. Ah!
27th May 2021
Today’s new artist is the Secessionist Croatian painter Robert Auer, and his touchingly innocent scenes of young love, set in comfortable 1900s Zagreb interiors. See them here. Enjoy!
Open-air sex with added horns!
26th May 2021
Louis Icart is a perennial favourite on the site, and today we have added his rarest, indeed unique, portfolio, Les amusements du faune from 1925. Enjoy faun, woman and friend having enormous fun by clicking here. Summer is coming …
