Description:
Very good copy of the best edition of Famin's catalogue of erotic art in the secret cabinet at Naples.With 60 hand-coloured plates engraved by A. Delvaux and protected by tissue guards.The plates show phallic sculptures and graffiti, Priapic bronze figures and gods, excited votive amulets, extraordinary winged phalli, as well as frescos depicting fauns and bacchantes, satyrs and nymphs, hermaphrodites, bed scenes with slaves in attendance, Apollo and a nymph, Venus and Cupid, and the famous acrobatic "rope dancers."When King Francis I of Naples visited the Pompeii exhibition at the Naples National Archaeological Museum with his wife and daughter in 1819, he was embarrassed by the erotic artwork and ordered it to be locked away in a "secret cabinet." For most of the 19th century, the specimens could only be viewed by gentlemen scholars by appointment. Famin was granted access to the museum when he was posted to Naples as part of the French consulate, and wrote this catalog of some of the exhibits. When…

This book is in good condition. There is some wear on the front, back, spine, edges and corner of the cover. There is some dog-earring on the right corner pages of the book. The pages are white, crisp and clear of any markings. "This is a history of the visual arts produced in the geographical area that now constitutes the United States. Such a book is difficult to title. A History of United States Art sounds awkward and logically might even be construed to exclude the arts of the colonial period. Thus, with apologies to our northern and southern neighbors, I use the title A History of American Art, knowing full well that the terms America and the United States are not synonymous...." - Preface from A History of American Art
