Rare landscape format Hardback Book. This is a reprint from 1969 of the original printing of 1911.
This book is one of a Numbered Limited Edition Reprint, - being No. 1360
However it is not stated how many were printed in total.
This book contains Erotic Etchings by Michael von Zichy showing many
examples of couples in the Act of Love-Making
Many different positions are shown. These are reputed to have been
for Tsar Nicholas of Russia originally.
Nice condition book with plain orange boards.
I believe it originally had a Glassine Dust-Jacket, but this example
does NOT have it.
Contents Very Clean and Tight.
EROTIC CONTENT !
(I have shown a couple of relatively tame examples.
Some others are much stronger.
HOWEVER they are all relatively Gentle - none of them
are Gynaecological as we see in some top-shelf magazines today)
HERE IS AN INTERNET DESCRIPTION OF THE BOOK :-
Reprint of the very rare original edition of 1911. The cycle of "love" is
one of the most famous and rarest erotic folder works.
Zichy's grandiose and sensitive drawings combine artistic mastery with
the ability to show physical love from the first tender stirrings to the
passionate climax in all variations.
Originally, the drawings were owned by Tsar Alexander II, because
Zichy was court painter to the Russian court.
