    First Edition.

    24cm x 19cm. 272 pages, 11 black and white plates (of 15). Half leather, gilt lettering. Text is in French.

    One of the heights of 1930s French flagellation novels, later published in English as On Your Knees Slave and German as Auf die Knie Sklave. This a likely 1950s clandestine reprint with illustrations by Wighead published in an edition of 500 copies of which this is number 224. This copy unfortunately rebound in half leather with only 11 of the total 15 Wighead plates, and the plates having been remounted with the captions cropped. Galding is rare in any form, with no copies of the original French edition, this reprint, or the German translation recorded in OCLC, and only one holding of the English translation in the National Library of France.

    One of the plates loose. The rear hinge cracking, but intact. Fair Condition.
