Description
Montreuil-Strauss, Germaine. Maman, dis-moi... Images d'Andrée Karpelès. With 16 full-page color illustrations by A. Karpelès. Paris, Stock, Delamain et Boutelleau, 1927. (36) pp. 24.5 x 32 cm. Illustrated original paper boards (somewhat browned, partly stained, edges partly creased). First edition. - With handwritten dedication by the French/Jewish artist Andrée Karpelès (1885-1956), including her later Swedish husband Adalvik Högman, dated "Chitra 1927". - "A curiosity among the picture books of the 1920s is ... the sex education book "Maman, dis-moi..." published in Paris in 1927, a precursor, so to speak, of the 'Sex Education Atlas' published 40 years later. Although the book, translated into German in 1928, does not represent a picture book genre of those years, it allows conclusions to be drawn about what was at best still accepted as sex education for children, if it happened at all."
