Wilton Album, folio 10a: Priapus and Lotis ca. 1530-50 Anonymous, Italian, 16th century Italian Priapus, the ithyphallic god of gardens and fertility and the incarnation of unbridled carnal lust, was a favorite character in the erotic poetry of antiquity and the Renaissance. Long believed to represent Apollo and Daphne, this print instead illustrates a scene from the story of Priapus and Lotis narrated in Ovid's Fasti (elegiac verses commemorating the rustic rituals and celebrations of the ancient Roman calendar) in which the fleeing nymph is transformed into a tree to avoid the rapacious god's advances. An act of censorship has removed, or, more accurately, obscured beneath an improbably swirling drapery, Priapus's enormous, offending phallus.This etching reproduces the composition of a damaged drawing attributed to Parmigianino (Albertina, Vienna) and is possibly the work of his Parmese follower Jacopo Bertoia..

L'Odalisque 1852 Charles Alexandre Debacq This lithograph reproduces Delacroix's painting of the same title that he exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1847, where it was very well received.

The critic Charles Baudelaire recounted that the "liability of painting compared to the solidity of print was one of the constant themes of his conversation.". L'Odalisque.
