A beautiful album showcasing Alexandre Dupouy’s collection of vintage erotic postcards, focused primarily on works from the early decades of the 20th century. The reproduced postcards are accompanied by contemporary literary texts. The book’s appeal lies in the iconographic quality of the collection: nudes, suggestive scenes, lingerie, studio setups, and postcards distributed more or less clandestinely during the Belle Époque and the Roaring Twenties. The work is also listed in the BnF catalog. Condition: very good overall condition; a few slight signs of wear on the transparent dust jacket; interior in fresh condition.
