Yet another image from a Victorian “erotic alphabet” – this one appropriately enough the letter X. Probably dates around the 1880s, give or take a decade.

Hey all, just thought I’d do a quick post on a pair of eBay auctions I’ve currently got up. Selling two series of excellent antique erotic etchings: Martin van Maele’s De Sceleribus et Criminibus (circa 1908) and Marcel Vertes’ Le Pays a Mon Gout (1921).
The van Maele set – http://www.ebay.com/itm/330711286651
The Vertes set – http://www.ebay.com/itm/330711338678
Both are the original prints, both are complete sets, both rare although the Martin van Maele series is flirting with one-of-a-kind status (most likely the only known complete set). Feel free to drop me a line if you’re interested or have any questions.
First a couple of the van Maele prints (11 total):
And one of the Vertes etchings (12 total):

Macabre yet sensual pencil & watercolor by the acclaimed Decadent artist Felicien Rops. Originally from Belgium, he worked in both Brussels & Paris during the 1800s, producing a fine array of erotic art with a leaning toward the dark end of the spectrum (including a liberal dose of Satanic imagery).
Amassed from the sinful explicit art collection at Delta of Venus Vintage Erotica.

A very fine piece of classic erotic art, by the renowned painter Francois Boucher. Part of a series entitled Grivoiserie (“saucy story”), it was commissioned in the 1740s as sex education for the current Dauphin of France – the future King Louis XVI.
This one features a discreet handjob given by a lusty fille to her lover whilst on a pastoral outing.

This vintage erotic illustration is courtesy of an unknown French artist from the early 1900s, working under the pseudonym Joie d’Hiver (“Joy Of Winter”). From a series of explicit pencil & watercolor pieces called Parisian Sketches.
The one below is entitled Le Dessert, and safe to say it’s getting served to both…

This painting is part of an erotic series by the famous Italian artist & illustrator Marcello Dudovich. He’s best known for his superb early 1900s posters advertising Martini & Rossi (still quite popular today), Campari, Bugatti, Pirelli Tires, & many more companies. However, Dudovich’s lesser known works include some highly explicit erotic art like the one below. Quite a bit more risqué than the usually veiled eroticism of Art Nouveau, but still keeping some of its essence – bold, colorful, playful, bawdy…
More of Marcello Dudovich’s erotic artwork can be found in the collection at Delta of Venus Vintage Erotica.

Suzanne Ballivet (1904-1985) was a Parisian painter & illustrator active throughout the early through mid 20th century. She’s known today mostly via her erotic art, but actually illustrated a wide variety of books both sexual and non – Venus In Furs, Oliver Twist, the Songs of Bilitis, Daphne & Chloe, and many more. Her sensual illustrations for the lesbian erotic poetry collection The Songs of Bilitis are especially beautiful, I’ll be posting some of those in the future.
The naughty nuns below are from her lithographs for the classic erotic novel Gamiani, or Two Nights of Excess.
This entire series and more antique erotic art (from both Suzanne Ballivet and many other artists) is in the archives at Delta of Venus Vintage Erotica.
