Le Théâtre de la Nature. — Bruxelles, c. 1938.

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.
