"Die Bonbonniere" is an illustrated book of erotic art by the Austrian artist Franz von Bayros (1866–1924), who was known for his controversial and provocative works. Born in Zagreb, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Bayros belonged to the Decadent movement in art, which emphasized aestheticism and often delved into taboo subjects. "Die Bonbonniere" was created during the early 20th century, a period characterized by a fascination with sensuality and the exploration of sexual themes in art and literature.

The title "Die Bonbonniere" translates to "The Bonbonniere" or "The Candy Box" in English, suggesting a collection of sweet and indulgent treats, which in the context of Bayros's work, metaphorically represents a variety of erotic fantasies and vignettes. Bayros's illustrations in "Die Bonbonniere" are typical of his intricate and delicate style, featuring finely detailed line work and often incorporating elements of Art Nouveau. His compositions frequently depict scenes of aristocratic excess, mythological encounters, and playful debauchery, all rendered with a sense of whimsy and elegance that belies their often explicit nature.

Franz von Bayros's work, including "Die Bonbonniere," was controversial in its time and led to moral outrage and censorship. Despite—or perhaps because of—this notoriety, his art has continued to be of interest to collectors and scholars of erotic art and fin-de-siècle culture. "Die Bonbonniere" remains a significant example of the erotic genre in art history, reflecting the tensions between morality, sexuality, and artistic expression during the turn of the century.

As with many works of its kind, "Die Bonbonniere" must be understood within the broader context of Bayros's oeuvre and the socio-cultural environment of the time, which both challenged and inspired the boundaries of acceptable art. The book is a testament to the enduring fascination with the interplay of the erotic and the artistic, and it continues to be studied and appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and its place in the history of erotic illustration.
