Add to basket200 Photographies et Documents Recueillis par Frédéric Drach. Témoignages de Notre Temps ?No. 4. [White Slave Trade and Prostitution. 200 Photographs and Documents Collected by.]. 200 photos in b&w. First edition, a single issue, complete in itself. Foolscap,[1p.], illustrated title, pp-6-97, [2pp.] advert for ?VU', text block stab stapled and glued into the original photographic noir style wrapper in black and red, titles in white and red on upper portion, auctioneer's annotated slip loosely inserted under the glacine and annotated Post-It on the front, French text. Paris, E?dite? Par La Socie?te? Anonyme 'Les Illustre?s Franc?ais', Directeur Lucien Vogel, De?cembre 1933. £500.00 The unwieldy text block has loosened, though worn on the edges, the covers are very bright under the previous owner's tatty glacine. Obviously well thumbed by Perceau. Provenance: bought at auction from the last important library and archives of Louis Per- ceau, the great erotic bibliographer of the ?Enfer' . The item in his glacine wrapper. A full issue of a beautifully lavish and highly visual bi-monthly magazine, that, not surprisingly given that Vogel directed it, advertises ?VU' at the end. Contributors include Georges Simenon and Philippe Soupault. The many photos of female sex workers and sometimes their tattoos, range from streetwalkers, the homeless, room renters to brothel women, bar hostesses, madams etc. Other images include the title page spread of French tart cards, other ephemera and letters. The tenor is very cross-cultural and comparative, curious about Morocco and the Far East and the opium tinged luxury of the latter, obviously hostile to the daylight purity of Nazi Germany, sympathetic to Republican Spain and merely descriptive of Stalin's Russia. An incredibly rich document of sex work in the inter-war period with jumps back into the nineteenth-century. One of two fumetto-like photo-stories pay homage to or perhaps reference Guy de Maupassant's ? La Maison Tellier ' which is a story of a whorehouse in Normandy. 243761.
