Dear Candy
ReplyDeleteI hope you wont mind my blatent piece of self promotion, but readers of your D'Ora piece may be interested to know that I have just published the first full translation (by Merrill Cole) of Berners/Drostes 'Dances of Vice, Horror, and Ecstasy'in a small edition of 300 numbered h/b copies.
It includes the wonderful D'Ora images which, where I can find them, I have licensed form various collections, and these have all be restored to make them look their best.
There are also a few extra bits and pieces - an into by Cole, and essay by Mel Gordon (Berbers biographer) and a few other D'Ora images (one hand mounted on the cover and a previously unpublished image by her of the couple as an extra).
The website is:

I have also added my own essay on Berber/Droste/ the book etc here:

If you would care to mention it somewhere I would be terribly grateful.
Thanks so much!
