In 1945, Mino Maccari published a folder containing 16 linoleums with a strongly erotic subject matter, titled  On s' amuse! . Because of the scandalous subject for the time, he signed with the pseudonym of Jean Barbe. The circulation is of 300 copies, 40 "before letter", numbered in Roman numerals, hand-painted by Maccari himself and signed by him "J.B."
