The mysterious writer Alan Mac Clyde and the no-less obscure illustrator Carlo have been hailed as two veritabe masters of modern S&M imagery. This volume includes fetish and bondage drawings by Carlo that were featured in several of the books penned by Clyde which were originally published in the 1930s. With his bizarre graphic inventions sporting a wickedly refined taste, Carlo was a forerunner of the genre and became the source of inspiration for a whole generation of fetish and bondage artists, from John Willie to Eric Stanton, from Gene Bilbrew to Jim, and from Bill Ward to Robert Bishop.
