Irish Erotic Art - When You Care Enough to Give the Very Least...! (Hardcover)

,
Shortly before his untimely death, the great art critic, scholar, and raconteur Seamus O'Gallagher McGuire Cork said: "Let's face it, most erotic art is, well, dirty. But the long-hidden masterpieces of "Irish Erotic Art "reflect a purity, nay of chastity, of style and content unheard of in countries like Italy or France, if you get my drift."
After years of diligent research and at little or no risk to his personal safety, Cork compiled the definitive work on this most neglected field of study. Her at last is the famous "Passion of St. Bridget "as well as such little known or previously undiscovered masterpieces as "The Peat Gatherer's Honeymoon, Molly's Bloomers, Behind the Lace Curtains, "and "The Bombed Bordello."
Every work presented in this sensitive yet evocative volume-even the recently acclaimed triptych, "Contraception and How It Causes Cancer"-has been scrutinized by a Green Ribbon Panel of religious leaders of all denominations worthy of the name, as well as a hand-plucked group of Hiberian laymen.
When you care enough to give the very least, "Irish Erotic Art "is the perfect present for anybody's favorite Irishman!
