Chouraqui, Robert; Pauline Barnet (pref.)
 
Tendres Esclaves (First Edition)
 
Paris, FR: Le Club du Livre Secret / Eurographic, 1990. First Edition, French language, quarto softcover, 64pp, perfect-bound, b/w throughout. From the "Voluptes" series, erotic photography and illustration books from Paris. Chouraqui's self-taught photography roughly began the fetish movement of the 1980s in Paris, and he often snapped notable French actresses and models. Showcased here are a bevy of lithe women, varying hair lengths and nationalities, including Asian. Somewhere between Helmut Newton and Robert Maplethorpe, with New Wave and Punk aesthetics: leather, chains, masks. Very Good Plus, toning, light curling, title in ink on the blank spine, and one page loose and trimmed but present.
