A curious iconographic anthology by Gilles Néret devoted to the cat as an erotic motif and to the ambiguity of the English term “pussycat.” Paintings, engravings, photographs, and illustrations—both old and modern—are organized into thematic chapters (“Discovery,” “Observation,” “Exploration,” “Fantasies,” etc.). Condition: generally good. Some scuffing and minor marks on the cover, mainly on the corners and spine; interior clean and well-preserved.
