Private Case

Reading James Pope-Hennessy's, blessedly brief, biography of Lord Crewe, I find this reference to his father's library; "Not unnaturally, [Crewe] omits to mention the large and famous collection of pornographic and sadic literature which old Lord Houghton had lovingly assembled. This portion of the library Lord Houghton's heir made haste to sell". Our article on Monckton Milnes says he bequeathed his porn to the BM, but he obviously held back a bit! Might be worth a mention? All the best. KJP1 (talk) 17:42, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for this, KJP: I'll have a dig around and see what there is that we can add. Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 19:46, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi KJP1, I’ve done some digging on this, and I can’t find any reference to him giving any part of his library to the British Museum. The information isn’t supported by the citation in the article either, unfortunately. He did hols an extensive collection of erotic works, there’s ample proof of that, but it doesn’t look like the BM was the recipient of any of it. Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 04:15, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

I'm not sure this edit is necessary -- Playboy regularly featured non-nude celebrities. But I'm not strongly against it. What do you think? -- Ssilvers (talk) 18:22, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

It’s possibly worth leaving it there. There will be a fairly large number of people who have never read Playboy and don’t know that it also featured non-nudes. - SchroCat (talk) 19:51, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

OK, thanks. -- Ssilvers (talk) 20:14, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
