Davis Cup Champions: Harry Hopman, Neale Fraser, Tony Roche, and John Newcombe
AU$750 Read MoreAdd to cartMarcel Niederle
Prague: Marcel Niederle, 1957-1969.Six original caricatures by the Czech artist and caricaturist Marcel Niederle (1898-1990) of Harry Hopman and three of the players who won the Davis Cup under his captaincy. Hopman, in ink, dated 1969, the year he moved to the United States, had captained Australia to 16 Davis Cup wins between 1939 and 1967. Neale Fraser, Wimbledon champion in 1960, in two drawings: one in ink, captioned “Wimbledon 1957”, the other in pencil, undated and captioned “No. 1”, probably from 1959 or 1960, when he was ranked the world’s leading amateur. Tony Roche, French champion in 1966, in two undated drawings, one in pencil, the other in ink with ink wash and pencil. John Newcombe, seven-time major singles champion and Roche’s partner in 12 major doubles titles, in ink, undated. Niederle specialised in sporting subjects, particularly tennis and ice hockey. After working in New York as an illustrator for Sports Illustrated he returned to Czechoslovakia, where he drew the leading tennis players of the 1950s to the 1970s, a period dominated by Australian champions. No holdings of Niederle’s work can be traced in any Australian public collection.

Paris and London: Privatdruck, Europa Verlag, 1950.Clandestine German erotic tale produced as a mimeographed typescript in a stated edition of 50 copies.

Complete Set of the Oceanic Press Erotica from the Collection of Gershon Legman
AU$2,500 Read MoreAdd to cart[Pierre Delarue]
Paris: Oceanic Press, 1958-1960.A complete run of Oceanic Press (twelve numbered and nine unnumbered volumes, two carrying a second work apiece for 23 in all) from the library of erotologist and folklorist Gershon Legman (1917-1999), four of the unnumbered volumes numbered to the spine in his hand, and several with his brief bibliographic notes to the front flyleaf. Oceanic, produced by Pierre Delarue, was one of the Paris fly-by-night imprints thrown up in the late 1950s in the wake of Maurice Girodias’ Olympia Press, with Delarue shamelessly copying the size, format, and pseudonymous manner of the Traveller’s Companion books; most of the authors remain unidentified. Legman names Jack Olley, author ‘Love Together’, as a Black writer. The prize is No. 6, ‘A Diary of the Senses’: the first edition in English of an early work of trans erotica, its narrative of surgical sex-change apparently prompted by the Christine Jorgensen case. Issued here under the name Helen Tucker, it is generally attributed to the artist Isidore Isou (1925-2007), having first appeared in French as ‘La Confidence Sensuelle’ (Eric Losfeld, c. 1955) under the pseudonym Andre Suffren.

The Legman Book of Sex
AU$4,500 Read MoreAdd to cartGeorge Rhoads
: George Rhoads, 1954.A unique artist’s book by the American painter and sculptor George Rhoads (1926-2021) as a gift for his friend, the erotologist and folklorist Gershon Legman (1917-1999). The two met in Paris shortly after Rhoads’ arrival there in 1952, bonding over origami. The discipline of mechanical precision inherent in origami arguably foreshadows his later complex audiokinetic ball machine sculptures. Rhoads is known to have sent Legman letters embellished with foldings and comic drawings throughout the 1950s and 1960s (a small number of models survive in the Legman archive at the Origami Art Museum, Colonia del Sacramento), but the present volume is a substantially more ambitious and apparently earlier production, made in the opening years of their friendship, and directed squarely toward Legman’s lifelong scholarly fascination with erotic folklore and bawdy humour. The 58 leaves are each illustrated on the recto with original cartoon drawings. The first sixteen leaves carry two short erotic tales: one of ten leaves concerns the tale of a sex maniac; the second, of six leaves, recounts the adventures of “five little Fuckers and how they blew”; the remaining forty-two leaves illustrated with standalone erotic cartoons. The front cover with a colour illustrated title, the inside lower board signed by Rhoads with a decorative border, the date supplied in Legman’s hand. Of considerable research interest as a primary-source artefact of the Rhoads-Legman friendship, complementing the surviving body of gifted material preserved in the Legman archive at the Origami Art Museum. The erotic content places it at the intersection of Rhoads’ early Paris work and Legman’s lifelong scholarship on erotic folklore and bawdy humour, later culminating in his major study ‘Rationale of the Dirty Joke’ (First Series 1968; Second Series 1975). Provenance: ex the estate of Gershon Legman by descent via Neil Pearson.

Sweet Gwendoline & Sir Dystic d’Arcy No. 1: The Race for the Gold Cup
AU$2,000 Read MoreAdd to cartJohn Willie [John Alexander Scott Coutts]
Los Angeles: J. A. S. Coutts, 1958.The complete cartoon serial of Sweet Gwendoline, reworked, finished, and published by the artist. The character first appeared in Coutts’ iconic fetish magazine Bizarre, which ran for 26 issues between 1946 and 1959 and remains the most influential fetish periodical of its era. Publishing under the pseudonym John Willie, Coutts’ work profoundly shaped later artists including Eric Stanton, Gene Bilbrew, and erotica publisher Leonard Burtman. Born in Singapore to British parents, Coutts lived in Brisbane and Sydney from 1926 to 1945, where he developed his signature aesthetic centred on high heels, corsetry, and bondage. During this period he produced photographs and drawings, often featuring his wife and model Holly Anna Faram, much of which informed the imagery of Bizarre’s early issues. After a short stint in the Australian Military Forces, Coutts emigrated to North America in 1945, publishing Bizarre soon after. This standalone title was published after Coutts had sold the magazine and relocated from New York to Los Angeles. “The final 55-page narrative that Coutts published in magazine form in November 1958 was a significant reworking of the original Sir d’Arcy d’Arcy comic–almost a complete reimagining. The journey to this completed work had been long and winding, beginning in Bizarre, passing through Wink magazine, and briefly distributed by Irving Klaw as 10×8″ photographic sheets. The bound edition Coutts eventually published remains the only complete version.” (Richard Perez Seves, John Willie: The Story of John Alexander Scott Coutts). Two institutional holdings, at Yale University and the Kinsey Institute.

Of Those Alone
AU$1,000 Read MoreAdd to cartRobert Hutton
London: Sidgwick and Jackson, 1958.The pseudonymous autobiography of Horace Charles Forbes Cheston, published under the name Robert Hutton shortly after the release of the Wolfenden Report. Written at a time when homosexuality was still criminalised and taboo, Of Those Alone offers an unusually candid account of Cheston’s sexual and emotional life. Moving between Paris, California, New York, and the South of France before returning to England, he recounts his affairs, his ill-fated marriage to an American woman, and his descent into alcoholism, concluding with redemption through Alcoholics Anonymous, an organisation he later helped to establish in Britain. One of the earliest openly homosexual autobiographies of the postwar period, it precedes the more widely known works of the 1960s gay liberation era and is quite likely the first memoir of a gay alcoholic writer.

Taipei: China Publishing Company, 1953.The revised edition of Tong’s biography of the Chinese leader.

This copy inscribed by Tong in Tokyo, 1953, to the polyglot Boris Strjeshevsky, an officer in the Imperial Russian Army that fled to China where he learned English and Chinese and taught Russian to the Chinese, before moving to Japan in 1939 where he learned Japanese and taught languages, before finally moving to Queensland, Australia, where he taught Russian at the University of Queensland.
