It goes without saying that the readers of this blog need no instruction in the art of kissing. So even though the book - which is original and very scarce, by the way - is packed with helpful tips for the inexperienced, I'll spare you all that folderol for the cover and the illustrations. If any of you should have questions about the Vacuum Kiss, the Spiritual Kiss, the Eyelash Kiss, or - yep, it's here - the Pain Kiss, just let me know.
The Art of Kissing, Hugh Morris, Padell Book Company, New York, 1936.

Oh you big tease.
ReplyDeleteThe chapter on Taboo Techniques begins, "Find an Irish girl..."
ReplyDeleteDoes it give credit to the illustrator? They're pretty fascinating.
ReplyDeleteOkay, the guy smiling is just creepy while the other guy is well...just creepy.
great
ReplyDeleteOkay, speaking as an Irish girl, what's next?
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately the illustrator isn't credited. Maybe he intended that guys who pin the girl against the sofa arm look creepy 'cause they ARE creepy. I'm impressed by all the "radiance" in the woodblock cuts.
ReplyDeleteAnd M, I was teasing you with that about Irish girls.
Darling, your perfume sends me. Shall we vacuum kiss?
ReplyDeleteWell...have you a HEPA filter?
