N.p., n.d., 1950s. £1,500.00 Fine. A unique submissive's illustrated testimonial to a dominatrix or fellow sexual role player. We do not know who the creator of these outsider style drawings is, though he signs himself as 'Roger' (British slang for sex) . In his sort of prefatory note addressed to ' ma petite cherie', he (for this is surely a man) declares that, to paraphrase in English, there is no doubt that the little sketch will invert you to be even more severe and cruel than Catherine de Medici to her pages and exacerbate the inflcition of a thrilling and refined perversity on the ass of your Page till he has ejaculated in grey spurts from his penis for your satisfaction. The declaration is in effect a signed ?slave contract' giving the object of his submissions carte blanche to do with him as she will - as long as it is within the bounds of his gynocratic fantasy world. Much of the remaining work depicts the pathology of Roger's psychosexual development and the important episodes that fixed his love of being sissied, punished, taught obeisance and humiliated. The second picture depicts what seems to be seminal scene of ?Roger' being beaten by his mother while another woman looks on sternly, again his buttocks are reddened, this is described on the verso as a ' fessée honteuse' or a shameful spanking. Further pictures involve other female members of his family such as his grandmother administering punishment in various quotidian domestic settings such as the kitchen table. Another picture depicts a comrade from his college days being spanked by two aunts and another seems to show an ?inflexible father' beating Suzanne, a 15 year old. Thus showing how endemic spanking was to Roger's world. The final plate is the ultimate humiliation, Roger is dressed as a girl, his skirts lifted and he is being spanked by his mother at his grandmother's request. He describes this scenario as a not infrequent punishment for damaging his trousers. 216465.…
