Lesbian Decadence: Representations in Art and Literature of Fin-de-Siècle France features a rare collection of illustrations from the "decadent period" which began in Paris in the 19th century. The original collection was compiled by French author Nicole Albert and published in 2005 under the title "Saphisme et Decadence Dans Paris Fin-De-Siécle." After a reprint in 2016 by Harrington Park Press, the book won the Goldie award for Anthology/Collections (Creative Non-Fiction) from the Golden Crown Literary Society. Translated by Nancy Erber and William Peniston, the reissue is an expanded edition that now includes a number of rare photographs and cartoons from the original author's private collection — many are not publicly available anywhere else. Bill Cohen, the cofounder of Harrington Park Press — a publishing group that focuses on less-explored scholarly topics relating to the LGBT community — told BuzzFeed News in an interview that although same-sex activities were not criminalized in France at the time, "lesbians were still viewed by psychiatrists as disordered souls." "Moralists pitied them. In popular society, however, lesbianism was flaunted," he explained. "Some paintings, no doubt, shocked the public in the early 1900s."
The cover of a special issue devoted to lesbians: Jils Garrine, Les Mesdam’messieurs, in L’Assiette au Beurre, March 2, 1912.
"Writers tried to define the cross-dressing phenomenon by using compound nouns and convoluted phrases: Woman-Man, woman masculinized by habit and tastes, or 'mesdam'messieurs' — which happened to be the title of a special issue of satirical magazine L’Assiette au Beurre devoted entirely to lesbians."
"Rayon du Moulin-Rouge" / "Moulin Rouge Department" by Tony Minartz for “L’Article de Paris”/ “Parisian Specialty” in L’Assiette au Beurre, Feb. 8, 1902.
"The vast premises of the Moulin Rouge was famous for its can-can dancers, who kept the audience enthralled. It also had a dance floor where female couples often waltzed in one another’s arms. Tony Minartz depicted the tight embrace of women spinning round in an issue of satirical magazine L’Assiette au Beurre. If the drawing was not clear enough, the caption accompanying it spelled it out:
"Dark and Fair" by Tadeusz Styka (ca. 1908)
"According to the prevailing typology of hair color, a true lesbian was either a brunette or a redhead (red being the epitome of artificiality), and thus golden hair was left to the passive, willing victim. Marthe Barnède, nicknamed Madame Sappho, is 'a stunning brunette, with hair the color of deep shadow,' while Colette, her young and frail lover, is described as 'a pretty girl with lily-white skin and light blonde hair that crowned her pale ivory forehead with a riotous golden halo.'"
"Petites Amies" / "Girlfriends" by Hanafusa Ittcho, an illustration for the novel Poupée Japonaise / Japanese Doll by Félicien Champsaur (1912 edition).
"The term 'inseparables' (which is also a French term for lovebirds) is the title of a chapter in Champsaur’s Poupée Japonaise (Japanese Doll). In the illustrated edition of 1912, a colored engraving by Hanafusa Ittcho called 'Petites Amies' (Girlfriends) represents two lovers’ hands joined like the obis fastening their kimonos, giving the impression that the women are literally tied together."
Pierre Hérault, "L’amour qui n’ose pas dire son nom (The Love That Dare Not Speak Its Name)" in Le Rire, Nov. 29, 1930 .
"'Excuse me, young man, my wife has lost her sex, you wouldn’t have found it by any chance?' Le Rire was a successful French humor magazine published from October 1894 through the 1950s."
Cover illustration by Étienne le Rallic for "Ces Dames de Lesbos" / "These Ladies of Lesbos" by Renée Dunan (1928).
"This little-known novelist retraced the history of sapphism through the ages. After an introduction focusing on Lesbos in antiquity, she backtracked to prehistory, swerved through Babylon, paused with the Amazon women, trekked through Corinth, returned to Lesbos, landed in Rome, paid a visit to the Ottoman sultan and the court of Louis XV, and finally arrived at her destination, the modern-day Lesbos of Hollywood, London, and Paris."
"Faute de Venise—II y a le lac du Bois de Boulogne." Illustration by Joseph Kuhn-Régnier, in the satirical magazine Fantasio, Aug. 1, 1923.
"The Bois de Boulogne is a public park in Paris (bigger than Central Park) that was a reputed meeting place for lesbians, as well as lesbian prostitutes. Two fashionable ladies in a nighttime amorous adventure, with the less rarefied caption: 'If Venice is too far, there’s always the lake in the Bois de Boulogne.'"
Raymond de la Nézière, "Quelques femmes à Bicyclette" / "Some Women on Bicycles" (detail), in La Vie Parisienne, Sept. 16, 1893.
" Parisian Life was a French weekly magazine founded in Paris in 1863 and was published without interruption until 1970. In 1905, the magazine evolved into a mildly risqué erotic publication."
Maurice Radiguet, cover for Mlles Saturne by Charles Virmaître (1898)
"Charles Virmaître had intended to give his study about sapphic Paris at the end of the nineteenth century the title 'Les Marchandes d’ail' (The Garlic Sellers). The expression is related to 'mangeuse d’ail' (garlic eater), considered an obscene euphemism for 'pussy eater.' He eventually titled the study 'Mlles Saturne' (derived from Saturnus, the Roman god of fertility). The cover, illustrated by Maurice Radiguet, retained a trace of this preliminary title, since a head of garlic is hanging above the doorway."
"Boîtes de Nuit (Night Clubs)" by Zyg Brunner in L’Assiette au Beurre, Sept. 4, 1909
"The caption reads, 'Yes, my dear Prince, there are only two men who understand women in Paris: You . . . and I.'"
"L’Embarquement pour Lesbos" / "The Departure for Lesbos" by Armand Vallée in Fantasio, June 1, 1929
"The two women in a drawing by Armand Vallée have the long-limbed charms of 1920s flappers, and their voyage 'to a different land / Where love, they say, is more beautiful' resembles a sporty jaunt."
"Le Sémiramis-Bar" by Édouard Touraine, an illustration for Colette’s article “Le Sémiramis-Bar” in the magazine La Vie Parisienne, March 27, 1909.
"Sémiramis was the Queen of the Amazons, the mythological tribe of women warriors."
"Ferdinand Bac, the illustrator of Femmes honnêtes! (Decent Women!) , daringly drew the two lovers Lucie and Berthe embracing in such a way that their arms formed a bridge of flesh in the form of a hyphen, like the punctuation mark that joined their names."
"Sexes autonomes: Les bars parallèles — Rétablissement" / "Autonomous Sexes: Parallel Bars — Restoration" by Gerda Wegener in Fantasio, July 15, 1925.
"Édouard Chimot, fascinated by this working-class and artistic neighborhood in Paris, sketched some of these female couples, many of whom were actually poor women living off prostitution. Jean-Louis Forain and Toulouse-Lautrec captured the habitués, both famous and anonymous, of the cafés that they also frequented. In the 1920s the glamorous Gerda Wegener gave these local dives a more sophisticated allure and called them Bars Parallèles / Parallel Bars, suggesting a pun with 'barres parallèles' and 'parallel bars' in gymnastics."
"Gravelures de mode pour 1895" / "[Naughty] Highlights of the Fashions of 1895," by Albert Guillaume in Gil Blas illustré, Oct. 20, 1895.
"Cartoonists took aim at a presumptuousness that they considered as sacrilegious as it was ridiculous. In one of his comic sketches Albert Guillaume focused on eccentric women who took their fashion cues from men’s wardrobes. One panel has the image of an intrepid-looking woman, a cigar in her mouth, in men’s evening dress: a coat and tails, a starched shirtfront, and a high collar.
Below is the caption, 'The Two-for-One—The Latest Fabulous Outfit for Dinner Parties. Does Not Wear Out. Ground Floor at the Louvre Department Store.'”
Lesbian Decadence: Representations in Art and Literature of Fin-de-Siècle France won the Goldie award for Anthology/Collections (Creative Non-Fiction) from the Golden Crown Literary Society. A previous version of this post misstated the name of the award and the organization.

This collection contains an archive of original illustrations, four sketchbooks, and erotic stories, depicting transgressive sex acts including (but not limited to) lesbian and heterosexual sex, incest, pedophilia, sadomassochistic behavior, and copulation with objects as varied as sex toys, produce, and household appliances. The stories and illustrations appear to be the work of a single individual, with nearly all narrative told from a female's point of view. Also includes some amateur pornographic photography and magazine clippings.
The stories included in the collection range in length from one page to 46 pages. Two of the four sketchbooks include drafts of multiple storylines. Most stories are handwritten in the style of a graphic novel; some are typed. All include accompanying hand-drawn illustrations. There are also loose, miscellaneous illustrations in the collection with no correlating story. The collection's photographs and magazine clippings appear to have been used as models for some of the sketches and artwork. The photographs include at least one image of a hermaphroditic woman who appears in some of the accompanying stories.

Current results range from 1940 to 1969

Admit it, you just can't look away from these taboo onscreen relationships . Incest — be it between siblings, cousins, step-family members, or parents with sons and daughters — is one of those icky subject matters we just can't help but be fascinated by. And it's been portrayed in films more than a few times. If you're curious, here are some of the most memorable examples of incestuous relationships in movies.
Siblings Chris and Cathy, the product of incest themselves, begin an incestuous relationship due in large part to being locked in an attic together (as they went through puberty) by their evil grandmother in the 1987 film based on the 1979 novel by V. C. Andrews.
Hyper-sexualized step-siblings Kathryn and Sebastian make a wager that involves sleeping together in this high school-set 1999 adaption of the 1782 novel Les Liaisons Dangereuses by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos.
Fifteen-year-old Oscar falls in love with his stepmother, Eve, played by Sigourney Weaver, in this 2002 film.
In this steamy Paris-set 2003 film, twins Théo and Isabelle sleep naked together, and it's insinuated that their relationship is sexual, especially as American exchange student Matthew enters the mix.
Julianne Moore stars as Barbara Baekeland, a mother who attempts to cure her gay son, Antony, played by Eddie Redmayne, by seducing him in this 2007 drama based on real events. (There's even a super creepy threesome scene.)
Daniel Day-Lewis stars as a single dad who doesn't realize his isolated existence with his daughter has resulted in her becoming infatuated with him in this 2005 drama.
A promiscuous widow and her 17-year-old son begin an incestuous relationship in this 2004 French-Austrian-Portuguese-Spanish film.
In the very loose '90s adaption of Emma , Cher ends up with Josh, her ex-stepbrother, which is only sort of weird.
In the 2013 Canadian-German sci-fi film based on the first book of Cassandra Clare's The Mortal Instruments series, demon fighters Clary and Jace fall in love over a series of life-and-death encounters, only to discover too late that they are actually siblings. Despite lots of kissing and other un-sibling like behavior, they have to figure out how to be together without actually . . . being together. (Spoiler alert: they later find out they aren't actually related . . . not that this fact stopped them from majorly making out).
In the 2013 drama based on a Pulitzer Prize-winning play, cousins Little Charles and Ivy are secretly in love with each other before it comes out that they are actually brother and sister.
Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker share a kiss before discovering they are twins in the first Star Wars movie.
Eli ( Owen Wilson ) said it best: "I did find it odd when you said you were in love with her. She's married you know . . . and she's your sister." To be fair, Margot ( Gwyneth Paltrow ) is Richie's ( Luke Wilson ) adopted sister in the 2001 Wes Anderson movie.
In Guillermo del Toro's 2015 gothic horror film Crimson Peak , Tom Hiddleston and Jessica Chastain play brother and sister Thomas and Lucille, who have an eerily close relationship — to the point that Thomas's wife Edith ( Mia Wasikowska ) has to fear for her life due to Lucille's jealousy.
A very young Brooke Shields and Christopher Atkins play cousins who survive a shipwreck and then fall in love in this 1980 romantic adventure drama film.
Eva Green plays a woman who gives birth to a clone of her late lover (played by Matt Smith) and then has sex with him when he's an adult in this 2010 film.
In the onscreen adaptions of the novel of the same title by Vladimir Nabokov (there are two film versions, one 1962 and one in 1997), a 30-something man named Humbert Humbert marries the mother of a 12-year-old girl he hopes to become sexually involved with.

I watch a young mother climb into the swimming pool with her 3-year-old daughter. They wrap their arms securely around each other and playfully bob up and down. Not a hint of distrust crosses this child's face; she appears confident of her mother's love and protection.
After a few moments, the mother attempts to place the child into an inflatable toy ring. Protesting, the little girl begins to kick her feet and cling desperately to her mother's neck. The mother tries to assure her daughter that she will not be left adrift, but her efforts fail.
Acknowledging the fear, the mother tosses the ring onto the deck and gently kisses her daughter's cheek. A smile of success and relief appears on the child's face.
The memory surfaces of myself as a small child: My arms are wrapped around my father's neck while swimming in a lake. I see the same joy on my face as I just saw a moment ago on the child's, until my father reaches his hand under my swimsuit to fondle me. My look of joy suddenly turns to one of shame and fear.
Today, I am left with an image of horror and betrayal.
I acknowledge another equally painful memory, of my mother, who did not protect me from my father. I look at the little girl in the pool and wish that I could have felt the same bond of trust with my mother that she feels with hers. Tears form in my eyes, and I dive into the water so they will go unnoticed.
Vulnerability is difficult to expose to others, but now I can allow myself the relief of crying. For most of my life, the pain was buried under the defenses that I had developed to emotionally survive the incest. ::
My father, a former police officer, began to sexually abuse me at the age of 3 and continued until just prior to my 16th birthday. His assaults ranged from manual stimulation to oral, anal and vaginal penetration. As a child, I did not understand what my father was doing. It seemed that he was providing me with the love and affection that a child desperately needs from a parent. Only after he began to mention the word "secret" did I question if what we were doing was right.
My father never physically forced me to participate sexually with him until my mid
