Subject:Erotic book
Posted By: Monique Rosa Mon, May 20, 2019 IP: 2001:980:57ae:1:1d13

I bought this erotic book, inside images and text.
Maybe someone knows something about this kind of books. Is this an information book? When were they made? And possibly who was the maker.
Many thanks!

Title,
春宮冊 - Prince's Palace Book
Its is a reprinted Chinese erotic book. Somewhere on the back side of the bookjacket there must be a small square label with the name of publisher, printer, year etc.

With regards,
I.Nagy

Thanks for your help, from a distance it looks maybe like a print. I have added some closer pictures. The paper looks old (on the right side of the book, you can see a white table) and the drawings ar painted it also smells old.
And there is no publisher.

new/recent. unsure what the text is but the picture is quite atypical of Chinese erotic paintings. these are often but not always anonymous, the seal here shows someone surnamed Wang.

in case you are actually interested, here's a good overview of the genre: https://jamescahill.info/illustrated-writings/chinese-erotic-painting/preface-and-introduction
