PAUL AVRIL, Erotic Portfolio, Drawings and Illustrations

Whether depicting Roman orgies in "De Figuris Veneris", Eighteen century ribaldry in "Memoires de Fanny Hill" or Greek classic inspired escapades in "Les Sonnets Luxurieux", the erotic drawings of Paul Avril portray a sensuous carnality mixed with an old world romantic charm.
These three series of illustrations are included in this volume.
