Les Quarante manières de foutre, dédiées au clergé de France . A Cythere: Au Temple de la Volupté. 1790.
Les Quarante manières de foutre, dédiées au clergé de France . A Cythere: Au Temple de la Volupté. 1790.] 18° in 6s (134 x 81mm). Seven engraved plates. (Lacking leaves A1-2, manuscript annotations in an early hand in the plate margins correcting the captions, occasional light spotting.) 19th-century navy blue boards, the spine with a red label lettered in gilt (small chips near the spine ends, extremities rubbed). Provenance : Gérard Nordmann (label, his sale, Christie’s Paris, 27 April 2006, lot 338). THE PROBABLE FIRST EDITION. This faintly anti-clerical compilation of sexual positions was published in the immediate aftermath of the French Revolution. It comprises forty one attitudes, instead of the forty promised by the title, including: ‘La Grenouille à la nage’, ‘La Boudeuse’, ‘Le rebours de la bête à deux têtes’, and other favourites. RARE: WorldCat KVK and CCFr locate just one copy in public collections worldwide, in the Bibliothèque Nationale (lacking the half-title and one plate); RBH and Auction.fr record only this, the Nordmann copy, having been offered at auction. A work with a similar title ( L’art de foutre, en quarante manière ) dated Amsterdam 1789 was in fact published in 1830. Dutel A-955; Enfer 756; Pia 1212.
