Thomas Leycester Poulton was an English magazine and medical book illustrator, born in 1897. Upon his death in 1963 it was discovered he was also a prolific and imaginative erotic artist who produced hundreds of sketches and finished drawings of women proudly and exuberantly displaying themselves in ways shocking to conservative post-war Britain. Once one gets past the shock value it becomes clear that Poulton's greatest talent was in portraying the human body in the sexual act, and since he did it with such rare insight many have argued he must have actually witnessed the orgies he put on paper. His ties to certain players in the 1963 Profumo scandal, breaking at the time of his death, hint that he may, in fact, have been the in-house artist at the parties that rocked the British Parliament. Poulton's archive remained hidden from public view until the late 90s, when it turned up among the artifacts of an aging professional yachtsman who was dispersing his vast collection of erotica. Though Tom Poulton's work tells us much about English society between 1948 and 1963, there is a universal quality to these images of joyous, uninhibited sexuality that transcends time and place.

Presents "Tom Poulton: The Secret Art of An English Gentleman". The Real Thing. This is surely one of the most explicit and genuinely arousing erotic art ever made in the early 20th century, by a secretive Englishman - no less - and at a time of unforgiving Victorian repression. Accomplished draftsmen/painters of our time have asserted that the men and women depicted engaging in the most unabashed sex acts were real, not imaginary, people. The realism of the drawings is so specific, meticulous, and detailed as to suggest as much, unlike Classical and contemporary erotic art, which usually depict lapidary archetype-figures. These individuals did NOT necessarily pose for Poulton as paid "models". What is more likely is that the artist knew them, and indeed participated in some of the sex acts himself, as part of a secret society that needed the explosive - and also often tender - sexual release that each rendition lovingly depicts. Still, there is also an undeniable imaginative aspect, triggered by Poulton's and his subjects' actual experience or fantasy: Almost every drawing shows "in flagrante delicto", the thrill of being caught in the act by ANOTHER equally lustful, not just curious or voyeuristic, couple or group of people, who then presumably joined in, as committed for posterity by Poulton. In his most ecstatic and graphic images, orgies in which every imaginable, combinatory sex act is enacted, anticipate the orgiastic festivities of contemporary "adult entertainment". An absolute "must-have" title for Tom Poulton collectors. This title is a great erotic art book. This is one of few copies of the 2006 First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and despite its imperfection (slight wear on DJ spine, but it's there) is still in fine condition overall: Every single internal page is clean, crisp, and bright. The cloth boards are sharp, NO bumping at all. Please note: Copies available online have very serious flaws (because they were pored over, repeatedly) or are subsequent editions. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare copy thus. Lavishly illustrated with black-and-white plates. One of the most brilliant artists of the sex act of the 20th century. A fine copy. ISBN 3822830623. no.

The secret art of an English gentleman Thomas Leycester Poulton was an English magazine and medical book illustrator, born in 1897. Upon his death in 1963 it was discovered he was also a prolific and imaginative erotic artist who produced hundreds of sketches and finished drawings of women proudly and exuberantly displaying themselves in ways shocking to conservative post-war Britain. The archive remained hidden until the 1990s, when a collector of erotic artifacts passed it on to a fellow collector willing to share it with the world. Though Tom Poulton's work tells us much about English society between 1948 and 1963, there is a universal quality to these images of joyous, uninhibited sexuality that transcends time and place. The editor: Dian Hanson is a twenty-five-year veteran of men's magazine publishing. The author: Jamie Maclean is the founder of The Erotic Print Society, a niche publishing house, and since 1994 has kept busy publishing a large range of books on erotic art, photography and fiction.
