Eins von 275 Exemplaren, dieses Exemplar von |Tetsu im Impressum signiert|. Ungemein witzige erotische Karikaturen, in denen sich ältere Damen und Herren allein oder zusammen vergnügen. Das Ganze sehr phallisch und teils sehr französisch: zur Parade am Nationalfeiertag präsentiert Monsieur seinen Nationalstolz mit geschwelltem Glied auf dem Balkon und Madame vergnügt sich mit einer kleinen Trikolore im Po oder dem Eifelturm in der Muschi. Mappe leicht berieben, sonst sehr gutes Exemplar. Dutel 1379; Nordmann 1, 403. ------------------- [Tetsu]. - [Signed copy]. Dessins des que des Q. No place, publisher or year, [c. 1960]. 4° (25 x 21.5 cm). 1 title page, 1 leaf. Imprint (illustrated) and 24 plates of erotic caricatures. Red cardboard folder with black ribbon ties. Original edition. One of 275 copies, this copy signed by Tetsu in the imprint. Extremely funny erotic caricatures in which older ladies and gentlemen have fun alone or together. The whole thing is very phallic and partly very French: for the parade on the bank holidays, Monsieur presents his national pride with a swollen member on the balcony and Madame enjoys herself with a small tricolour in her bottom or the Eiffel Tower in her pussy. Portfolio slightly rubbed, otherwise a very good copy. Dutel 1379; Nordmann 1, 403. ------------------ [Tetsu]. - [ Exemplaire signé]. Dessins des que des Q.

Un des 275 exemplaires, celui-ci signé par Tetsu dans la justification. Les caricatures érotiques sont très drôles et mettent en scène des hommes et des femmes âgés qui s'amusent seuls ou ensemble. Le tout très phallique et en partie très français : pour le défilé de la fête nationale, Monsieur présente sa fierté nationale, membre gonflé, sur le balcon et Madame s'amuse avec un petit drapeau tricolore dans les fesses ou la Tour Eiffel dans la chatte. Portefeuille légèrement frotté, sinon très bon exemplaire. Dutel 1379; Nordmann 1, 403.
