Description
This scholarly volume examines the complex representation of prostitution in French visual culture between 1850 and 1910. Through a rigorous selection of paintings, drawings, and photographs, the authors analyze how artists navigated the social, moral, and aesthetic tensions surrounding the figure of the courtesan and the streetwalker in the modernizing urban landscape of nineteenth-century France.
