Dreams of Spring presents for the first time the treasures of one of the world's most important collections of Chinese erotic art. The text and descriptions in this book are the result of many years of scholarly research by one of the principal authorities in this field, Reverend Yimen, who studied Chinese history and literature at the major universities of China, before devoting herself to this neglected field of China's spiritual traditions. This scholarly yet provacative volume presents the best of the Bertholet Collection in Amsterdam, in beautiful full-color reproductions with fascinating text. Recommended, but definitely not for the young and innocent!
