Vintage Literotica ~ for friends and admirers

Brief review of this article rings to mind again the question of what and where did the great collections of porn from history, collections such once possessed by King Farouk, Herman Goering, etc. Were they destroyed, do they still exist and if so, can they be viewed? Just curious.

I expect most are still around. Major libraries and archives do have collections and fonds that are a bit less than publicly available. And if you've ever wondered if the great artists painted nudes that were more naughty than classical, try the art museums' vaults for an eye-opening and eye-popping) answer.
 
I find this page incredibly erotic. I remember back in the 80s finding my dad‘s old magazine collection which he had kept going through the 70s and into the 80s. Those were good days.

I think most is actually destroyed, American anyway. There were massive destructions of erotica in purges in the 20s of all times. The publications were a lot larger than the history that we've generally been told. There are a few accounts of this, if I find them again I'll post.

Printed erotica that was destroyed didn't include all the copies. And there are those among us who refuse to let any works disappear. In 1965 or 66, the San Francisco police burned all the copies of Lenore Kandel's The Love Book that they had confiscated at City Lights bookstore. Want to see a copy of that first edition? It went out the back door as the cops came in the front, and it's on the poetry shelf in my library. I assure you, none of the erotic art in museum vaults and private collections is ever going to be intentionally destroyed, not even the "degenerate art" that the Nazi's "confiscated" in the 30s and 40s.
 
After reviewing a site thought it might be of interest here. Look at

The Jack Horntip Collection and see if you agree.

 
This tapestry sits behind me,
Though I am pleased to stand
For given papa's sophistry
I was spanked as he planned;
He gave such specious reasons,
But I was so naive,
His convolutions left one
Undressed - fallen panties
Were like my fallen womanhood,
Quite crumpled and bereft,
And they stayed in Sir's study
Long after he had left
This girl a faint and quivering wreck
More so than the titanic,
For I was sunk, as was his junk,
In my now tarnished fanny.
