1) Ch. Avalanche. 2) Davanzo. 3) Félicien Rops. 4) Fernand Louis Gottlob. 5) Leon Courbouleix.
Ch. Avalanche is the name, or perhaps a pseudonym, of the illustrator of the spanking novel L’Amour fouetté by Gaston Vincennes. The book's exact year of first publication is unknown, but is probably 1920-1930. The cover for this book however was done by Mario Laboccetta.
It's mentioned that Ch. Avalanche could be the same artist as Wighead, I also read somewhere that Wig head could be Labocetta but so far no facts were found to prove any of these theories.
Davanzo was a spanking artist from the period of early 20th century French spanking literature, working for Collection des Orties Blanches. Davanzo could be the same as the artist Wighead, both perhaps being the Italian artist Mario Laboccetta, using the pseudonym Marilac. Below are his illustrations from the 1934 novel
L’Éducation de Chérubin by Liane Lauré.
Félicien Rops (7 July 1833 – 23 August 1898) was a Belgian artist, known primarily as a printmaker in etching and aquatint. He is noted for his drawings depicting erotic and Satanic themes. Rops is furthermore important for being a pioneer in Belgian comics.
Fernand Louis Gottlob (1873-1935) was a French artist who produced illustrations for numerous Parisian newspapers and magazines including Le Rire, Le Sourire, Le Journal Amusant and L'Assiette au Beurre.
Léon Courbouleix illustrated spanking novels in the 1930s using the pseudonym J.X Dumoulin. His drawings are F/F, F/f and F/m. Besides spanking art, he also did some enema art. In the late 1930s Courbouleix wrote and illustrated two privately-printed limited-edition ‘memoires’ of the eponymous Suzon:
'Suzon au vacances' and
'Le mariage de Suzon', an advanced style of writing and illustration which started a trend of similar erotic ‘diaries’ which continued well into the 50's.
Courbouleix’ last illustrated work was published in 1953, he died twenty years later in Paris
