Tickling your fancy?
1st September 2021
If you consider yourself a lady and love being ‘tickled’, then you’ll appreciate today’s new portfolio by the prolific late eighteenth century artist Frédillo – The New Ladies’ Tickler, Or, The Adventures of Lady Lovesport and The Audacious Harry. See it now by clicking here.
Rococo fantasies
31st August 2021
Today’s new artist is the Italian Aroldo Bonzagni, whose inventive and colourful talent was cut short by the influenza epidemic of 1918 – plus ça change. His Secret Album, which you can see here, includes some remarkable paintings and pastels.
Transgression in spades
30th August 2021
An important and powerful new artist for you all today, the Uruguayan Javier Gil, who in the late 1990s produced remarkable illustrations for transgressive texts by Sade, Bataille and Duras. No fewer than five portfolios for you to enjoy, see them all here.
Full-on sex …
29th August 2021
Back to 1920s Germany for today’s new artist, Curt Grosspietsch. He made just two portfolios, the second repeating much of the first, but there are some powerful images of wellspring cunts, and of cocks on the rampage – click here to see them. Enjoy!
Simple pleasures
28th August 2021
Rustic delights from the mid-19th century by French artist Victor Adam is today’s new portfolio. So very innocent! See them all here, and remember the simple pleasures of life.
A one-night stand and lots of spanking
26th August 2021
Today’s new illustrator is the talented and versatile French artist Léo Fontan. He didn’t produce much explicitly erotic work, but what he did was very good and well worth knowing. See what you think – his work can be found here.
Boney’s conquests
24th August 2021
The historian Frédéric Masson credited Napoleon Bonaparte with fifty-eight sexual conquests, and his generals followed his lead. Today’s new artist, Célestin Nanteuil, used his imagination to show them all hard at work, which you can see here. Enjoy!
I don’t know what got into me
19th August 2021
Sex and devilry in today’s new portfolio, Diabolico Foutro-Manie, an 1835 collection from Achille Devéria. Is ‘they made me do it’ the ultimate excuse? See all the little imps here.
The great J.M.W. comes to honesterotica
18th August 2021
Today’s new artist may surprise you, it’s none other than the great Joseph Mallord William Turner, he of the Temeraire and watery Venice. But his many sketchbooks also demonstrate his abiding interest in things more corporal – see some of this work now by clicking here.
