Description
A fascinating and uncommon pair of original 1928 booklets by Dr. M. Sayle Taylor, bringing together Natural Birth Control and Predetermination of Sex and How to Know Your Affinity: A Study of Glands. This is an especially appealing lot for collectors of vintage medical history, sex education, social history, and unusual early self-help literature.
These booklets capture a distinctive moment in American popular culture, when topics like birth control, compatibility, hormones, and personal improvement were being packaged for a wider reading public. Pieces like these are desirable not only for their eye-catching original wrappers, but also for the unusual subject matter that makes them stand out in the world of 1920s ephemera.
* Original 1928 Dr. M. Sayle Taylor pamphlets
* Two different titles offered together as a pair
* Strong crossover appeal in medical, sexual, and cultural history
* Includes a scarce early birth control title
* Attractive and displayable original printed wrappers
* Excellent lot for collectors of unusual, controversial, or offbeat vintage publications
This pair has real historic interest because it reflects changing attitudes toward health, marriage, sexuality, and pseudo-medical advice in the late 1920s. Surviving examples are not commonly encountered, and the combination of provocative subject matter and period presentation gives this lot strong collector appeal. Please view all the photos.
