Erotic art is an eminent part of the cultural heritage of ancient China, and was already flourishing in pre-Imperial times. With its peak during the late-Ming period, this art remained a fixed feature in Chinese literature and visual arts until well into the 20th century. At its best, Chinese erotic art is a search for beauty in all its manifestations, for not only does it offer stimulation, it provides a source of great aesthetic pleasure. It never presents sex in a crude or pornographical way, but within a framework of beauty and harmony, enhanced with details of a profound or symbolic nature. 
DREAMS OF SPRING presents for the first time the treasures of one of the world's most important collections of Chinese erotic art. The text and descriptions in this book are the result of many years of scholarly research by one of the principal authorities in this field; Rev. Yimen, who studied Chinese history and literature at the major universities of China, before devoting herself to this neglected field of China's spiritual traditions

L'ample collection de gravures et lithographies érotiques présentées dans cet ouvrage provient principalement de la France de la Monarchie de juillet (1830-1848). Le règne de Louis Philippe, le roi citoyen, fut relativement calme et paisible, et se caractérise par la montée de la bourgeoisie, la prospérité économique et une censure étonnamment tolérante. C'est aussi l'époque de l'expansion en France d'une nouvelle technique, la lithographie, née dans une Allemagne ne jouissant pas d'un climat culturel aussi libéral qu'en France. En tant que technique moderne et économique de reproduction en masse d'images, la lithographie rendit l'art accessible au grand public pour la première fois. Ces facteurs, s'ajoutant à un climat intellectuel plutôt libre-penseur - qui permit à des philosophes des sciences humaines comme Saint-Simon de trouver de nombreux adeptes, aux journaux d'imprimer des caricatures aussi mordantes que celles d'un Daumier, et aux artistes de mener une vie ouvertement bohème - se combinèrent pour créer l'atmosphère dans laquelle put s'épanouir l'art érotique rassemblé dans ce livre. Les illustrations de cet ouvrage "Romantique" font partie de la célèbre collection privée d'art érotique de Hans-Jürgen Döpp, caractérisée par sa rareté, dans les deux sens du en quantité comme en qualité. La qualité hautement artistique et l'attrait esthétique de ces images les éloignent aussi bien de la pure pornographie que d'une documentation historique désuète. Pour l'oeil moderne, elles sont plus plaisantes dans leur composition et leur réalisation qu'elles ne sont excitantes pour les sens et l'humour inhérent à la plupart des oeuvres présentées ici est aussi Frais qu'il l'était il y a 170 ans. »
