Femdom Book Covers, Pt.1

Rivers of Glory, 1942

Let's start another theme - interesting book covers - with a couple of cuckolding covers for popular novels of american writer Francis Van Wyck Mason (1901-1978). He published no less then 78 novels full of heroic gentleman characters, but cover pictures are selling - and his heroes do pay proper respect to beautiful Women...

Eagle in the Sky, 1948

Covers for The Barbarians from 1954 are already using a little bit more Ds pictures:

But the interesting is following dust jacket of the 1st hardcover edition (Robert Hale, 1956). Unfortunately i do not have good scan of it. Please share, if you own it....

Femdom Pulp Magazines, Part 4

One step further - Ladies actively participating on torture:

And at the end, some Ff fantasises:

Femdom Pulp Magazines, Part 1

Pulp magazines were born in post World War I United States. Everything started with magazines dedicated to nonfiction detective stories, romance, western and science fiction. Printed on cheap, pulp paper, all black and white, but with glossy, painted, full colour, extravagant and eye-catching covers. Whole genre started to change itself in thirties by adding fictional stories with more and more violence and erotica. And suddenly, after World War II, there was nothing too brutal or perverted to describe and depict. Although still mainstream medium, in late fifties and sixties Pulp magazines were solely focused on very specific segment of male population, serving them with regular doses of graphical sex and horror.

Nazi theme is probably the most controversial topics of the magazines covers. But sexual undertones of SS uniforms is simple fact (well done, mr. hugo boss & comp) and obsession with the nazis is strong until today (just see reactions to leaked HM's video a couple of weeks ago). The nazi themed covers reached the ultimate and absurd sex and sadism level. No kind of atrocity was left out, but also no real war horrors were pictured - all the hyperrealistic paintings sprang directly from the artists'  wild phantasies. And interestingly enough, there were at least as many Female dominant covers as their reversed-role counterparts... Enjoy...

The Source

i have received a couple of questions about source/author of the latest picture on the blog. It has been used by (and created for) Belmont's edition of Bed of an Empress story by Sacher-Masoch. First edition has been published in 1964 and identical reprint was made by the same publisher in 1968. Author of the cover art is most probably Victor Kalin (1919-1991), a very successful, skilled and flexible illustrator. He created a lot of brilliant paper book covers, but unfortunately this one is his only pure 'femdom' work. The book has been also reprinted in UK by Richmond Hill Printing in 1965 with different, and much less attractive, cover. For the blog i just cleaned up the cover to make it text and wear marking free and tweeted the colors and sharpness a little bit... so bad the original Kalin's picture is not available...
