Antiquarian semi-scientific study about the sex lives of people in the fin-de-siècle and the ways in which one could get pregnant (also artificially!). With table of contents. Geïllustreerde Volksbibliotheek van het Geslachtsleven Vijfde serie, No.III (3).
¶ 'Art Nouveau' cover decoration, the wrappers from another publisher (August Koster) who advertises other erotic publications on the back and on the inside (such as 'Jeugdige Zondaars te Constantinopel' by E.T. Feenstra Kuiper). Cf. Onder de toonbank p. 196: "Na de dood van Albert van Klaveren (1842-1891) bleven andere uitgeverijen onder zijn naam scabreus drukwerk uitgeven [...]."
These kinds of booklets were seen as stimulus reading and were sometimes confiscated. Also read Bert Sliggers, De zedeloze jaren 30 (2020) about clandestine erotica and Nop Maas, Seks!...in de negentiende eeuw (2006) p. 151-152 about Van Klaveren.
