Virginie: Her Two Lives

The story within this beautiful limited edition is about Virginie, an 11-year-old girl leading two lives ― one as a servant to the aristocratic Seigneur, a creator of erotically receptive women for the decadent nobility, in 1740; the other as the young sister to a Parisian taxi driver, a patron of a circle of prostitutes, in 1945. Her former master is a Pygmalion-styled creator of erotically-receptive women, a teacher who raises women of lowly origins to accommodate the tastes of a decadent French nobility. In the latter life, Bocage brings a circle of prostitutes home for his evenings of entertainment.
