Published by Truong in 1970 and printed by Girotypo in Bagneux, Hauts-de-Seine, the printing was completed on 7 December 1970, with legal deposit recorded in the fourth quarter of 1970.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJousson was a Swiss-based photographer whose work focused extensively on the female nude. His earlier publications include \u003cem\u003eLa Femme\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eLe Couple\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eJessica\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eÉrotique\u003c\/em\u003e, issued in Lausanne and Geneva. \u003cem\u003eComme une fleur…\u003c\/em\u003e belongs to the wave of French-language erotic photobooks that emerged alongside the cultural and social liberalisation of the late 1960s, when previously restricted forms of erotic imagery increasingly entered commercial publishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTruong's publishing catalogue placed the book within a broader field of European erotic literature and photography, alongside titles such as G. Legman's \u003cem\u003eOragénitalisme\u003c\/em\u003e, the Kronhausens' \u003cem\u003eEx-Libris Eroticis\u003c\/em\u003e, and the three-volume \u003cem\u003eL'Art érotique\u003c\/em\u003e. The publication therefore offers a glimpse into the network of small publishers and specialist booksellers that sustained erotic publishing in France and neighboring European markets during the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, \u003cem\u003eComme une fleur…\u003c\/em\u003e functions as a period document of post-1968 European erotic photography and of the independent publishing structures that emerged around it. Its large format and photographic emphasis situate the book within the visual culture of early 1970s French-language photobooks, where the boundaries between art photography, erotic publishing, and popular photographic culture were increasingly fluid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContains nude and erotic photography.
