The Secret Art of Tom Poulton

Recently a substantial body of work has come to light from the estate of a distinguished artist and illustrator, Tom Poulton.

Outwardly Tom Poulton enjoyed a successful career as a mainstream illustrator for established magazines such as the Radio Times and Reader's Digest. Secretly, probably on commission as well as for his own delight, Poulton produced some of the most explicit and varied erotic drawings of the post-war period.

'Philip's arms were around her breast and back. Now two other little hands were round her arse and a little nuzzling kiss was probing between her legs. With the sensation of dropping suddenly in an express lift, she opened her legs and then felt Millie licking her clitoris.' - From The Tale of Penny, an anonymous novel of the 1950s published with the The Secret Art of Tom Poulton

With exclusive access to this astonishing group of erotic drawings that has waited 35 years to be discovered, Erotic Review Books is celebrating publishing a comprehensive survey of Poulton's secret work: more than ninety of these extraordinary drawings, executed circa 1945-1960, with an accompanying text by author and journalist James Maclean. The text also includes two explicit underground novellas, typical of the era and written for private circulation, now also published for the first time.
