One of the most explicit books of hardcore erotica ever published, Forbidden Erotica is an excursion into the vast archives of collector Mark Rotenberg, whose holdings number more than 95,000 photographs, taken between 1860 and 1960. "How odd it is to see ladies in bloomers and corset with men sporting handlebar moustaches in the raunchiest of poses! There's no mistaking it--kinky sex is not a recent invention"--the publisher.
