Handmade album with erotic watercolors.

[EROTICA]. Hand-drawn illustrated album with text by Mieczyslaw Jagoszewski, "3 Sermons of Aryan in Reply to Father Piotr Skarga", 1960s?
Album form. 33x42.7 cm, pp. [21], original card binding, all bound in spine with two strings through the block. The author of the illustrative drawings and calligraphy remains unknown. Album includes title composition (title in decorative cartouche), 5 smaller illustrations in the text and 6 illustrations on separate pages. All illustrations are done in ink and gouache, all are obscene in nature. The text of the short introduction ("motto") and the texts of the three "sermons" carefully calligraphed, with decorative initials, stylized on ancient manuscripts. All texts in verse. Attention is drawn to the consistent misspelling of the vulgar name of the male member - by the "h" itself.
The author of "Sermons of an Arian" is Mieczyslaw Jagoszewski (1897-1987), a journalist, essayist and poet who used numerous pseudonyms (e.g. Dr. Sylwester Podolski, Jagosz, Aleksy Orłów). Writing for Lodz magazines in the interwar period, he also created "frivolous poems, which he wrote in refined old Polish. It was these that got him into trouble when it was deciphered who was hiding under the author's nickname. The noble Jagosz [...] was accused of pornography, and supposedly only Pilsudski's intervention saved his skin" (Wikipedia). The work presented here consists of three parts, the titles of which tell a lot about the content of the work: Sermon one against the minety spit, weeding all the states of this unfortunate Republic, Sermon two to the hangover-spirited motherfucker whacking the capuchin, Sermon three to the proud maiden of some asses not being.
