Georges Topfer was a French spanking artist from the late 1910s to the mid-1930s. Topfer often used the pseudonyms Gaston Smit, G. Smit, GTS and James Barclay. These are his illustrations from the 1929 novel La Villa des bouleaux (The Birch Villa) by Aimé Van Rod.
A short excerpt from La Villa des bouleaux: “At the first blows, I had desperately contracted my flesh, as if, instinctively, I had wanted to reduce the whipping surface, but soon this effort was no longer allowed to me...I let myself go, and it was on my rump as well. Soft as my nature permitted Miss Evelyn continued to apply the humiliating and painful punishment.”
