This textile features pornographic illustrations from 17th-century erotic literature. During the Enlightenment pornography was also used as a political commentry, a medium of social criticism and satire, most famously aimed at the French Queen Marie Antoinette. Gary Page, chief designer at the fashion company, Red or Dead, took inspiration from the stories of the Marquis de Sade (1740-1814), exploring notions of order and disorder, cleanliness and dirt and proper and improper behaviour, hence the title. The textile was used for bed furnishings and pyjamas.
