The French Way
AU$150 Read MoreAdd to cartMonique Monet
North Hollywood: All Star Books, 1965.Lesbian pulp AS 54. “A lesbian nympho, she turned whore to find the man who raped her!” One of the many lesbian pulp novels produced in the mid to late 20th century. Often formulaic and issued in easily recognisable series with suggestive covers and titillating titles, the genre was written largely by male authors under female pseudonyms for a male readership, though a smaller number of authors, some of them lesbian or bisexual women writing under similar pseudonyms, brought more narrative sincerity and psychological depth to the same commercial format. The genre as a whole ranges from outright formulaic titillation to more literary treatments of lesbian relationships within the constraints of the paperback original.

AU$750 Read MoreAdd to cartTrina Beaumont; Caroline Joyce
Sydney and Ulladulla: The Seahorse Club of Australia, 1976-1984.Collection of newsletter magazines issued by the Australian crossdressing organisation The Seahorse Society in its founding form as The Seahorse Club of Australia. Founded in 1971, “the club identified as being for heterosexual transvestites, intentionally distinguishing themselves from homosexuals, fetishists and transsexuals. This was part of an effort to portray transvestism as ‘normal’ and club membership as respectable.” (Noah Riseman: Transgender Australia: A History Since 1910) From the late 1990s, Seahorse began evolving to adopt broader transgender language and advocacy, and is now regarded as Australia’s earliest known trans organisation. The collection comprises: Feminique Numbers 11 (1976), 16 (1977), 22 (1980), and 25 (1984). The first three issues edited by Trina Beaumont (formerly Trina Taylor), the last by Caroline Joyce taking the reins.

Archive of Homoerotic Prints with Catalogue and TLS
AU$2,000 Read MoreAdd to cartRudolf von Keller
London: Rudolf von Keller, 1993.Archive of late 1980s / early 1990s homoerotic prints by Rudolf von Keller, sent to Jurgen Boedt, editor of the Belgian fetish magazine Secret, in the original postmarked envelope from London to Brussels. One of the two signed typed letters lists the contents of the packet as sent: the artist’s biography, advertising card, catalogue and price list, 8 sets of A4 posters (some in series of 3, others of 4), and 4 greeting cards. Of these, one three-poster series and one greeting card are absent from the surviving archive, while a second packet of A3 posters, also described in the letter, is no longer present. The artwork features hardcore homoerotic themes centred on leather, BDSM, and sadomasochism. Von Keller’s biographical note describes him as born in the late 1940s and educated in Germany, England and the Netherlands, before studying fine art at a college in the English Midlands. After working as a freelance designer while travelling Europe, he returned to the family jewellery business, but continued to produce fetish and BDSM drawings, watercolours, and paintings for a private circle. A series of exhibitions brought this work to a wider audience, leading to print reproduction and, in late 1990, his first ‘Artwork’ catalogue (included here), offering posters, cards, and limited edition prints. The operation was based in London, with a small studio later opened in Amsterdam for developing new work; the note describes him dividing his time between the two cities and a family home in the Rhineland.

Monster
AU$150 Read MoreAdd to cartRobin Morgan
Melbourne: Melbourne Radical Feminists, No date.American radical feminist Robin Morgan’s first book of poems, originally published by Random House in 1972. The title poem, ‘Monster’, quickly became one of the best-known poems of the women’s liberation movement, with the collection selling thirty thousand copies in its first six months. Its most controversial poem, ‘Arraignment’, accused Ted Hughes of complicity in Sylvia Plath’s death through his infidelity and alleged violence. Although Morgan revised the poem before publication, Hughes threatened legal action. Without informing Morgan, Random House agreed to withdraw the book from Commonwealth markets in return for Hughes dropping the matter. Feminist presses across the Commonwealth responded with unauthorised ‘pirate’ editions, most produced with Morgan’s blessing. The first appeared in Canada and followed shortly after by editions in Australia and New Zealand. Each varied in content: some carried graphics by women artists, others photographs of Plath, others, as here, both versions of ‘Arraignment’. This Australian edition includes illustrations and a bibliographical preface by Melbourne Radical Feminists.
