Illustrated covers. 3 other volumes on the same subject. A total of 8 volumes. The work was originally planned in 6 volumes, the sixth of which was to be a supplement volume, but obviously this supplement never appeared, and we can find no trace of it. Volume 1 is devoted to Asia, the second to Europe, the third to France, the fourth to Africa and the fifth to America and Oceania. Also included: BAGNEUX DE VILLENEUVE (pseud. of Raoul Vèze). Le baiser. The Roman orgy; The kiss. In Greece; The kiss. Babylon & Sodom. Paris, Daragon, s.d. 3 volumes. An advertisement on the back of one volume announces the publication of an almanac for 1908. These works are numbered limited editions on Hollande. Only the one on kissing in Greece is in good condition. The other two show traces of mildew and rodent kisses in the margins.
