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.

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.

Bel Ami: Frisky Memories
AU$100 Read MoreAdd to cartGeorge Duroy
Berlin: Bruno Gmunder, 1999.BelAmi is a gay pornographic film studio founded in 1993 by the Slovak filmmaker George Duroy, whose pseudonym was taken from the protagonist of Guy de Maupassant’s novel Bel-Ami. Established in the years following the collapse of the Eastern Bloc, the studio became closely associated with performers from Central and Eastern Europe, particularly the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary, presenting an idealised image of youthful masculine beauty and helping to define the archetype of the Euro-twink in contemporary gay erotica. BelAmi distinguished itself through a polished and often narrative-driven style of filmmaking. Rather than relying solely on a succession of scenes, many productions incorporated simple storylines, characterisation, and location shooting in rural, coastal, and historic European settings, lending the films a degree of atmosphere unusual within the genre at the time. The same aesthetic informed the studio’s extensive publishing programme, including calendars and photobooks produced with Bruno Gmunder Verlag. These publications, combining portraiture, travel imagery, and erotic photography, are striking examples of late twentieth- and early twenty-first-century gay visual culture.

Sunshine and Rainbows: The Development of Gay and Lesbian Culture in Queensland
AU$60 Read MoreAdd to cartClive Moore
Brisbane: University of Queensland Press, 2001.“a history of the development of homosexuality as an Australian subculture. Proceeding chronologically from the 1820s through to the vibrant alternative culture that exists in 2000, Sunshine and Rainbows argues that the manner in which gay and lesbian identity has been constructed in Queensland is typical of Australia generally. Beginning with isolated acts suppressed by criminal law and medical opnion, a homosexual identity developed, which by the mid-nineteenth century was based on male appropriation of public space. A clandestine social subculture was in place during the first half of the twentieth century. Despite continued religious, social, legal and medical repression, it became an obvious part of Australian sexuality, expressed through Beats and early gathering places such as coffee shops, hotels and theatres. Well developed in urban areas by the 1930s and 1940s, the subculture strengthened in the 1970s and 1980s, when clubs, gay commercial venues and political organisations emerged. The fight for gay law reform, recognition of the rights of same-sex partners, and of individuals affected by HIV/AIDS continues today. Sunshine and Rainbows discusses the different roles of gay men and lesbians in the subculture, arguing that by the end of the twentieth century a transition had occurred to a full-development alternative culture.” (from rear cover)
