Group of Erotic Engravings entitled LE CIRQUE

Description: Group of Erotic Engravings entitled LE CIRQUE Group of Erotic Engravings entitled LE CIRQUE [Erotic Art] Le Cirque: Group of Erotic Engravings Group of erotic engravings by an unidentified artist, entitled Le Cirque. Undated, possibly ca. 1935. 32 numbered plates (of 45; missing are nos. 2, 4, 6, 7, 11, 12, 17, 19, 21, 25, 35, 39, 45), each postcard size (3 3/4 × 5 inches [9.5 cm × 12.5 cm]), depicting graphically erotic human figures in a series of fantastical postures and acts, with captions that evoke daring feats of the circus, sports, and the boudoir. The identity of the artist remains hidden, while his role as a creator and his relationship "aux amis mon art" (sic) are acknowledged in an introductory text, replete with revelatory language of the circus barker, inviting the viewer to come within. The title plate "LE CIRQUE" includes a miniature engraving (1 1/2 × 1 1/4 inches [37 × 30 mm]) depicting nude female holding aloft a large horizontal phallus to compose the capital letter T, possibly a veiled reference to the artist's name. The group includes two plates for an introduction and a dedication, respectively. The historiated initial A of the introduction is stylized as the nude legs of a female figure crossed by a phallus:A-t-on vu, Mesdames et Messieurs, un circle si admirablement bâti comme celui-ci que nous allons vous montrer tout á l-heure?
