What’s new
Every which way
20th February 2023
Possibly the most widely-reprinted erotic classic of all time, Gamiani is the ultimate threesome fantasy, and today we bring you the no-holds-barred plates to accompany the text by the great Louis Berthomme Saint-André. Orgies don’t come any better! See them now by clicking here.
Staying on top
16th February 2023
It’s always a great pleasure to add a portfolio by one of our favourite artists, and today we bring you André Collot’s 1929 illustrations for Brantôme’s classic Lives of Gallant Ladies (and how they achieved their nefarious goals). See them all now by clicking here.
Stained with sensuality
15th February 2023
It’s not easy to imagine the juxtaposition of stained glass and erotic art, but the combination is beautifully and powerfully realised in the work of the Italian artist Diego Tolomelli. His glowing colours and detailed glass painting can be seen now by clicking here.
It’s all Greek
11th February 2023
On the edges of erotic apart from the very explicit ‘extras’, any new portfolio from the master illustrator Maurice de Becque is worth spending time with, so today we bring you his 1928 Sonnica the Courtesan, a classic tale of love and war. See the whole set now, including the elephants, by clicking here. Enjoy!
Evolution …
9th February 2023
To Argentina today for the enigmatic artist Gigi Amaldi and her erotic True History of the World; yes, sex has always been a central aspect of the way we’ve evolved! See the whole series now by clicking here, and if you can tell us more about Gigi let us know.
Gay’s the word
7th February 2023
Sadly we lost the talented and much-loved gay artist Oliver Frey to cancer in August 2022, but in his memory we offer a great cross-section of his work as today’s new offering at honesterotica. See Bike Boy, The Street and more now by clicking here.
A fair maid’s initiation
5th February 2023
Two new 1840 portfolios today by the great Achille Devéria, including his irreverent erotic depictions of the early life of Joan of Arc to accompany Voltaire’s scandalous Maid of Orleans. See these and the newly-added Library of Novels now by clicking here.
How shocking …
4th February 2023
A fin-de-siècle offering today from the great Anon – a portfolio of drawings inspired by the more extreme passages from Sade’s classics, Justine and Juliette. Designed to make the gentlemen frown and the ladies blush, they still have the power to shock. See them all now by clicking here.
Getting very wet
30th January 2023
A wonderful new portfolio today from Otto Rudolf Schatz, his 1947 Badefreuden, Bathtime Pleasures. Anyone who can imagine and create erotic watercolours like these is a genius. See them all now by clicking here. Bathtime will never be the same again!
Sex on the brain
23rd January 2023
Back in the day – the 1950s and 60s – Wallace ‘Wally’ Wood was probably the best-known cartoonist in the west. SF, war, fantasy, he could do them all. Then when the market opened up to sex in the 70s, Wally was right there! See his erotic work now by clicking here.
