The Original Book of Love
January 29th, 2010
The Royal Museum at Naples,
BEING
SOME ACCOUNT OF
THE EROTIC PAINTINGS, BRONZES, AND STATUES
CONTAINED IN THAT FAMOUS
“CABINET SECRET”
BY
COLONEL FANIN.
(Stanislas Marie César Famin, b. 1799 d. 1853)
London
[1871]
Here is the link to the site www.sacred-texts.com where the background and history of what is known as the Royal Museum at Naples Index can be found and the images perused. The ancient Romans were at ease with sex and sexuality and the pictures in the Index are of an ‘adult’ nature, (and thus unable to appear on this chaste and pure website). The copy of the index that appeared in Lily’s shop is, of course, an invention.
