MAYOR de SAINT-PAUL]. L'Autrichienne en goguettes or the Roy - Lot 297
MAYOR de SAINT-PAUL]. L'Autrichienne en goguettes or the Royal Orgy. Proverbial opera composed by a bodyguard, & published since the freedom of the Press, & set to music by the queen, 1789. In-8 of 16 pages, green half-chagrin, spine ribbed, caissons decorated with a golden flower, red head. Very light freckling (old binding). Rare first edition of this pamphlet from the early days of the Revolution, featuring the queen, the duchess of Polignac and the count of Artois. All three indulging in orgiastic practices, thus ridiculing the sleeping King Louis XVI. This virulent pamphlet is not foreign to the condemnation of the queen. It is attributed by most bibliographers to the actor and playwright Mayeur de Saint-Paul, but the scholar Jules Gay preferred the author of Les Liaisons dangereuses, Choderlos de Laclos. Lemonnyer I, 306, Pia 105. Provenance: Gérard Nordmann Erotic Library, 2nd part, lot 46.
