…he is not actually an artist. Although some have said he was, and he probably did some. But he is here for the colossal amount of spanking art he was responsible for being created.

Clyde is the pseudonym of two different French authors of pornographic novels, the first active in the 1930s, the second in the 1950s.

Alan Mac Clyde, Edith Kindler, Joan Spanking and Jean de La Beuque fils are pseudonyms for the author of several pornographic novels published in the 1930s by the Librairie Générale (84, Boulevard Diderot, Paris) and Librairie Artistique et Édition Parisienne Rèunies, imprints of Paul Brenet, a publisher specializing in flagellation and BDSM works.

Robert Mérodack has suggested that behind this pseudonym is hidden Maurice Renard (1875–1939) French author of several science fiction novels among which were Le Docteur Lerne, sous-dieu, Le Péril bleu and Les Mains d’Orlac. His argument is based on a passage of La Reine cravache where Edith Kindler wrote «taxées de fantaisistes que certain auteur français de grand talent accorde à son héros le docteur Lerne, qu’il qualifie de sous dieu.

Alan Mac Clyde or Alan McClyde is the name used in the 1950s by the Paris-publishers of some English-language erotica: Patrick Garnot of Pall Mall Press and Bronislaw Kaminsky, aka Bruno Durocher, of Week End Books both located in 5, rue Git-le-Cœur, Paris.

Here is some of his (their) work. Carlo, see here…

…was one of the main artist. As usual, lots of girls in Achilles heel boots and black very tight waisted corsets abound. But look, you can see the arrival of girls as pets. Especially submissive girl pets for Dominant girls…

As you can see, their branch of writing is very much spanking related, but also leaning much more to the B.D.S.M. side of our beloved, erotic interest.

This is only a sprinkling of the work under their names, and I am sure you will find much more if you search. However, I think I have put enough examples to illustrate that the modern version of the Pony Girl, has her roots in these names. Not that they invented it, it has always been around, as these illustrations show…

However, it seems it was a submissive male/Dominant Female thing in the early days, but as we move through the eras, it seems that submissive female/Dominant Female took over (woo hoo!….pleased about that!) and in more modern times Dominant Male/submissive female too….although there is a mix of it all, as you will see.

Through Victorian times…(I love this typically English, rather posh one!)…

“Now trot nicely you naughty girls or I shall remove your bloomers and thrash your bottoms!”

To the Music Halls, I must include this in ‘The Inveigle’ story!

I remember schoolgirls in the playground trotting around behind each other using their skipping ropes as reins, but these kids have taken it to another level! Some theatrical performance I suppose…but it shows how it is in our psyche.

Then on to the 1920’s and 1930’s, even the Ostra Studio joined in…there are some lovely Gifs to be found of pony girls in this era, this screen shot is from one I looked at, ….research of course!
