~ First published in 1924

This book is a bit of a mystery, there is very little to find. It was written by Holder van Ruten as part of a serie Documents on Ethnic Psychology (Dokumente zur Völkerpsychologie) and published in 1924. When I stumbled upon the artworks from the 1924 edition I recalled a older album stored in the anonymous gallery, with an unknown published date but I find them with the same title. This could be just a coincidence (someone storing the arts under this title), or it was perhaps a private publication.
Later I recognized the art as done by Gaston Smit (album 1).

  • Album 1, art by Gaston Smit (1924)

  • Album 2, anonymous artist (unknown date)

  1. You keep finding and posting materials that I recall seeing many, many years ago – and in many instances I knew little or nothing about the artists. Thank you for creating this fabulous compendium of vintage fetish and related art.
