"Erotica" is the accepted term for these etchings produced by Louis Icart.
As they follow a story line, many have no nudity or erotic theme. 

DETAILS ABOUT ICART'S BOOK PLATE ETCHINGS:
Icart provided the illustrations for 24 French-published books in the years 1925-1948. They were called livre d'artiste or ''artist's books'', because the illustrations were not just printed pictures on the pages like in a modern day coffee table book; the illustrations were actual etchings (or engravings) printed from Icart's individual copper plates and then hand colored. A few books. like Faust, contained photograveure prints rather than etchings. These editions were larger, as the photograveure process is not limited to 500 quality images as is the etching process.  

Each book was numbered and the edition size was between 50-500. If there were 500 copies of the book, then there were 500 copies of each “erotic” image produced. Most of the books were not bound. The text pages and the engravings came in a fancy box. Because of the high value of the complete book, and the desire by collectors to display the artwork in frames, most dealers break up the books and sell the artwork individually.  

The engravings are almost never signed. Think about it. No artist is going to spend his life signing individual pages of a book. The good thing is that no one is trying to reproduce them either--too much work for their relatively inexpensive cost.  

Each one comes with my certificate of authenticity as the author of two books on the Louis Icart.


Most of the erotic etchings were never signed.
You will rarely, if ever, find an authentic pencil signature.
(the very rare La Ronde des Dances etchings are an exception to this rule) 
Don't be misled by the "signed" pieces on ebay.
