Add to basket[Head of title: Flagellation & the Flagellants]. Small 8vo. xi, [1], 544 pp. Frontis., 20 illus., index. Modern full black calf and triangle-shaped red morocco onlays, raised bands, gilt stamping, upper cover with gilt central "rod and birch" motif, all edges gilt, marbled endleaves, hand bound by Martin Frost, with his gilt-sta…mped monogram label on rear board. Red cloth thumb-hold slip-case. Fine. "THE ALLURE OF THE WHIP!" With a splendid fore-edge painting showing a pair of horse or carriage riders, "riding" their partners, back-sides prominently showing, in the spirit of Thomas Rowlandson, and, in this case, like Martin Frost, who often displays a remarkable sense of humor and the exotic for artistry. Frost's signed book label mounted as a bookplate in front, dated 2007. The artist is playing with us by making the trees into the shape of a phallus (all of them!). Painting also signed "MF". Frost himself describes this as "A Rowlandesque road scene of travelers 'whipping up' themselves as well as their mounts!" / This is one of the early efforts of MF to bind and paint the book himself.
