Erotica as an art form depends largely on the subtlety of the artist and his presentation of the subject matter. Whoever produced these stillborn stabs at snuff bottles didn't know his smut from Shinola. The figures depicted in their prurient tableaux seem to have been inspired by graffiti on the toilet wall at some home for wayward boys. They possess no visible redeeming artistic, social, historical or intrinsic value. Sometimes another man's trash is simply that: TRASH! You did well to wear rubber gloves when handling them.
