Erotica universalis

Résumé : More naughty pictures from famous scribblers and anonymous talents alike-wonderfully indecent! Motivated by the great success of Erotica Universalis Volume I, we've been digging up more erotic works to keep our demanding readers satiated. The first volume showed that that from the dawn of time, ever since Adam and Eve, all artists of every age - whether the Egyptian, Greek and Roman artists of Antiquity, or more recent famous names as Rembrandt, Courbet, Degas or Picasso - have succumbed to their fantasies, obsessions and libido, and produced erotic works that the censors have taken good care to keep from the public. For Erotica Universalis Volume II,, we surface from the subterranean realms of the museums to enter those of our national and private libraries. Here we discover that not only most of our famous writers, such as Ovid, Aretino, Voltaire, Verlaine or Maupassant, wrote erotic texts that bordered on indecency, but also that great artists like Boucher, Fragonard, Dalí or Matisse were inspired to provide suitable illustrations for these naughty books. We have unearthed for you a hoarde of illustrations from some of the most famous artists of all time as well as plenty of anonymous work. The illustrations of each work are given in full, in reduced format, and are accompanied with a brief but revealing summary of the text. A banquet for the imagination and a feast of the eye!
