The Triumph of the Phallus
Nov 11, 2009
The Triumph of the Phallus (1700–1750).
We haven’t had a decent phallus picture here for a while (well, a couple of months…) so here’s one part of a three-part French engraving after a drawing by Francesco Salviati (1510–1563). Another great print from the British Museum collection. I’ll leave you to discover the triumphant member’s destination.
Via Jahsonic.

I had hoped the destination would be an open eye (admittedly depraved), but that’s just as well.

It’s all fun and games until someone gets a penis in their eye. Georges Bataille wouldn’t, er…bat an eyelid.
