"My Lovers at Twenty" is by the Frenchman Restif de la Bretonne (1734-1806), who authored 120 works throughout his life, encompassing everything from erotic novels and non-fiction to autobiographies and plays. How was Restif de la Bretonne able to produce such a vast body of work? Where did his inspiration originate? Restif often roamed the streets all night in a tattered cape and wide-brimmed hat, searching for novelistic material. Merely glimpsing the foot of a beautiful woman in a fitting shoe would capture his heart and spark his creative inspiration. For this reason, literary historians categorize him as an erotic writer. The English word for foot fetishism, "retifism," even derives from his name. *Feel free to message the designer with any detailed inquiries. *The items in this design studio primarily consist of Western antiques, vintage jewelry and home decor, and original European prints and books.
