Parisian Frolics
AU$600.00 Read MoreAdd to cart[Adolphe Belot?]
London: For private circulation only, 1896.Rare clandestine erotic fiction in English published circa 1920-1924. Four stories translated from the French by the author The Way of a Man with a Maid. “The first story in this collection is an English translation of ‘La Maison a Laisirs ou La passion de Gilberte’ (1889) … The final three stories are translated from ‘Les Heures Erotiques Modernes’ c. 1894. … The stories were possibly the work of Adolphe Belot, a popular French novelist of the 1880s. I believe the MS of this translation, .. were probably left unpublished by Carrington (who had published the same author’s Way of a Man with a Maid, and were sold with the rest of his stock at the Hotel Drouot in 1923. Since most of the stock was bought by Groves and Michaux, his partners and successors, they were probably responsible for getting them printed by Duflou, though it is equally possible that Hirsch, who also bought some Carrington material in 1923, got hold of these and arranged for their printing.” MENDES 210.

Australia represented from the second ever championship, Patrick Brooks, being the winner of IML 1980. Controversially, Brooks and his sponsor mistakenly thought being the winner gave them the right to host IML 1981 in Australia, though this was put down and the event continued in Chicago to this day. Despite the legal hoo-ha, with thanks to the gay paper, The Sydney Star, Mr. Australia Leather continued and sent a representative the following year, however Brooks never showed to take his place as a judge.Australia continued to send representatives to the competition many times over the years, notably with two second places, being Brent Lacey of Mr. Laird Leather Image, Melbourne in 1993, and Andrew Lennon, Mr. Mephisto of Mephisto Leather 1998. This copy double inscribed by co-founder of the championship, Chuck Renslow, both inside the book and to the cardboard shipping carton.
