Les Dames s'Amusent

In the gallery "De 3 Gratiën" (The 3 Graces), I once bought a nice portfolio of etches by Jan Asselbergs: "Les Dames s'Amusent," (The Ladies Enjoy Themselves"). He made those etchings in the early 70's, afterwards he thought the title to be, perhaps, not that friendly formulated, but anyway, he published them. I made a small booklet of the etchings, which I present hereby. Enjoy yourself.

Orion 1991 calendar

Collecting erotica, I specialized in adult comics. Some of them I got in the shops of Christine Le Duc. They had a modest collection of comics, but they also had some series of pocket-size picturebooklets under the name of Orion. In the future I will reveal the ones I own (from 1988 till 1992). In 1991 they offered a pocket-size (73x146mm) calendar for the price of ƒ 2,50 i.e. € 1,15 circa. Below I show you the scanned pages. A nice thing is that the same calendar (excluding the front page) you could have used as well in 2002 and 2008, and may use it during this century in the years 2013, 2019, 2030, 2036, 2041, 2047, 2058, 2069, 2075, 2086 and 2097!

Postcard collection

Here are a few other special postcards of my collection:

Of this one the artist is not known by me (and not mentioned on the card of course), somehow it looks familiar to me, could it be Picasso? Can someone help?

Female_&_Partners 1995 Photo_by_Kato_Tan
This one is an ad-postcard of the former erotic shop "Female & Partners," specialized in woman friendly articles. On the Photograph the two owners of the shop.

Hans_Appenzeller_Jewellery Photo_by_Diana_Blok

This one is also an ad-postcard, this time of an Amsterdam Jewellery shop

Peter_Vos
This is a postcard reproduction of an etching of the Dutch artist Peter Vos, the name of the work is not mentioned. In due time I will show you a collection of postcards from his hand, maybe this one formed part of that co;;ection, and I moved it to my secret "erotic" colelction

Galerie "De 3 Gratiën" Amsterdam

In the early 90's there was a Gallery in Amsterdam named "De 3 Gratiën" (The 3 Graces), specialized in erotic art expressions.
During a few years I collected their anouncements.
Unhappily they closed their doors shortly afterwards.

1980's Super Porno Album

Here is a scan of a special publication I once bought in a small Amsterdam erotica shop. It must have been sometime in the 1980's. The price I paid for it is still on it ƒ 4,95 (ƒ used to be the Dutch florin or guilder, which has been exchanged for the € (Euro) at an exchange rate of circa ƒ2,20 for €1,00.

The specialty is that it seems to be a private photo album, with real photo prints in it, with a pink colored cover, as if the girl next-door made it and gave it to me .....
