Allegorical frontispiece with Venus, Cupid, Pan and Nereid, including a portrait of Forberg, and 19 illustrations by Paul Avril engraved by Théophile Fillon.
Chapter headings include de la Futution, de la Pedication, de l'Irrumation, de la Masturbation, des Cunnilinges, des Tribades, du Coit avec des Betes, des Postures spintriennes. The explicit illustrations depict the missionary position, masturbation, fellatio, cunnilingus, orgies, gay sex, Sappho on Lesbos, a Saturnalia, sodomy, Tiberius and the fishes, bestiality, etc., while the text provides literary examples from Virgil, Sappho, Ovid, Martial, Herodotus, etc.
Freidrich Karl Forberg (1770-1848), was a German philosopher and classical scholar, while working as a school headmaster and director of the Saxon State Library. His philosophical writings are now forgotten, but his erotic poem in Renaissance Latin Antonii Panormitae Hermaphroditus, published in 1824, live on. Forberg wrote his own commentary to the poem, later published separately as De figuris Veneris. This Manuel d'érotologie classique or Manual of classical erotology, was later republished in two volumes in French "imprimé à cent exemplaires pour Isidore Liseux et ses amis, Paris," in 1882 and in English "in 100 copies privately printed for Viscount Julian Smithson M. A. and friends, Manchester," 1884.
Edouard-Henri Avril (1849-1928) was a French painter, engraver, and etcher. Under the pen-name Paul Avril, he illustrated many books of erotica including Fanny Hill (1887), Une Nuit de Cleopatre (1894), Les Sonnets Luxurieux de l'Aretin (1904). Histoire de Saturnin (1908), etc.
Text translated from the Latin into French by Alcide Bonneau for publisher Isidore Liseux.
Binding of brown morocco with five-raised bands, slight bump to top right corner, gilt title on spine, marble boards and endpapers, t.e.g. Interior mostly fresh and clean, all text within decorative architectural borders of columns and friezes, a few finger smudges to the tissue guards, engraved plates very good.

1572 PLUTARCH Parallel Lives Latin & GREEK Alexander Great 5v FAMED Estienne"The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled."
― Plutarch
'Plutarch's Lives' or 'Parallel Lives' is one of the most important and comprehensive collection of biographies of famous Greek and Roman figures. Plutarch was not so much focused on providing a historical account of these famous individuals as much as he was seeking to write of the type of person they were and the life in which they lived. He focuses on Alexander the Great, Romulus and Remus, Demosthenes, Cicero, Brutus, Julius Caesar, and many other important figures.
This rare undated 16th-century edition was edited and translated by Wilhelm Xylander, a notable German scholar and published by the famed Henri Estienne. Xylander was well known for his commentary and edits of Greek and Roman masters found in these volumes including Fabius Maximus, Timoleon, Pelopidas, and many others.

The pages are white, crisp and clear of any markings. "This is a history of the visual arts produced in the geographical area that now constitutes the United States. Such a book is difficult to title. A History of United States Art sounds awkward and logically might even be construed to exclude the arts of the colonial period. Thus, with apologies to our northern and southern neighbors, I use the title A History of American Art, knowing full well that the terms America and the United States are not synonymous...." - Preface from A History of American Art
