Collot - 31 devises à l'usage des grands - 1945

Given the very licentious character of the work, the name of the Artist does not appear on the volume, but it is beyond doubt Collot, to whom we owe quite a number of works of this kind.

Each appropriately discreet motto is illustrated with an erotic scene
