FIRST EDITIONS OF TWO RARE HOMOEROTIC WORKS. Pédérastie passive was prosecuted in Cologne in 1895, which suggests a publication date of 1894 or 1895. This group has the copy of A la campagne with the passages of sodomy very carefully marked, suggesting a keen amateur or, perhaps, a legal eye. WorldCat records only two copies each of Passive and Active.
