Girl Psycho Handled With Restraint: Illustrated with 14 New Jim Drawings and 11 Actual Bondage Photos

Irving Klaw was the legendary New York-based mail order merchant who, between around 1949 and his eventual prosecution for obscenity in 1966, produced thousands of films, photographic sets and printed booklets based on themes of fetishism, bondage, and sado-masochism. Although best-known for his discovery and promotion of the iconic bondage model Betty Page, Klaw's greatest legacy undoubtedly lies in his pioneering publishing work in the field of bondage illustration. PSYCHO GIRLS IN BONDAGE 3 is an anthology which collects three of the most intriguing and inventive examples of bondage art and fiction originally published by Klaw in the early 1950s. Duchess Of The Bastille (c.1952) by Eric Stanton is a typically outrageous fantasy inspired by the French Revolution but transposed to a timeless zone where a gang of girl freedom fighters are capturing and punishing members of the elite. Prison For Women (c.1954) by Eneg (Gene Bilbrew) features incarcerated females and sadistic wardens engaged in a continual power struggle expressed through dominance and submission. Eneg's Captives Of Madame La Bondage (c.1951-53) was a project which the artist worked on over two years, adding new pages to his fantasy of a French bondage mistress whose house of pain is filled with ingenious torture devices.
