18th century porn

[frualeydis]

L'aretin Francais (I can't get the cedille on the c). Printed c. 1800, but as you can see the clothing indicates that the image was made a little earlier. It shows a husband discovering his wife in bed with a lover. There was a much increased output in pornographical engravings in France in the second half of the 18th century.

I know about Arieto of course, but didn't have any online sources. Thank you.

I wrote:

"But of course, it all started with Giulio Romano and Pietro Aretino. The latter made a series of 16 erotic drawings or paintings"

I did of course mean the FORMER. Giulio Romano made the originals, Aretino the later versions.

And you're quite welcome!
