Album of 20 hand-coloured lithographs with a title page and a 'justification du tirage' page in an original snakeskin-clothed cardboard binder. Drawn on stone by Anonymous, attributed to Santippa. The theme of these pictures can be described as erotic humour.
Edition: 200 copies printed in Bruxelles, c. 1938; this copy without a number.
Watermarked wove paper: Word "Marais" and a flower.
Dimensions: 24.3 x 29.3 cm
According to J.-P. Dutel, the author of these images is Georges Hoffmann under the pseudonym Santippa. Honesterotica provides a different name: Gaston Hoffmann [Santippa] (French, 1883 – 1977), which seems adequate.
Catalogue raisonné: Dutel (1920-70) № 2496.
