Petite Dactylo

~ First published in 1913/1914

Petite dactylo is a French spanking novel by Pierre Dumarchey, published under his pen name Sadie Blackeyes. It was first published in 1913 or 1914 by Jean Fort in Paris. The novel’s title translates to “Little Typist”, and the frontispiece apparently shows the protagonist, a young female typist.

The first edition of Petite dactylo was illustrated by Louis Malteste. A later edition was published in 1921. There is also a 1933 edition in Fort’s imprint Collection des Orties Blanches. This edition features Malteste’s frontispiece plus 32 illustrations by Gaston Smit.
