Sources of Illustrations; Bibliography; Index. Overall, this is an Excellent, Very Clean, Tight and Bright, Near 'As New' copy. "With 125 black and white and 38 color illustrations, "Sex or Symbol?" shows that while overt sexual representations were common in painting, sculpture, pottery, jewelry and other minor arts, not all the objects that shocked the Victorians had an erotic purpose. Catherine Johns demonstrates that many had a religious and apotropaic function as well as reflecting the classical delight in erotic art for its own sake. They also shed light on the social mores of the time, in particular the wide range of sexual behavior acceptable in classical antiquity. "Please note that this book is overweight and very heavy and MAY require extra postage depending on your location. ; Colonnade Books; 4to 11" - 13" tall .
