Anyone have info on this art ?
It is on this web page
http://www.physiologus.de/kitzler.htm
and obviously there is undoctored original
probably a story too, I was unable to find any more
details

What a bizarre illustration! How on earth did you happen across this? I tried a bit of elementary research based on the text... Babelfish offered a rather fractured translation of little use. The artist, Hinrich Kitzler, is evidently sufficiently obscure to rate few references in English. Heinrich Heine, on the other hand, was a poet of some note:

That's the best I could do. We'll have to wait for an actual scholar to try his hand. A wild find, though! Congratulations!

Actually I was corious on what coogle can give.
This picture was interesting it was taken from somewhere, manipulated
probably an old newspaper story or something like that

I think I've seen something like this before. (hey, art school pays off 🙂 ) It could have been made by Max Ernst, a surrealist painter from the 1920's - '30.
Max Ernst once made a "proto-comic book" that consisted of a series of unrelated illustrations (very surealistic) which he made by cutting up illustrations from other books and sticking them together as collages to get strange pictures. but the figure that's getting tickled couldn't be "constructed" like this. In fact, there's another Max Ernst picture that has a different feet tickling scene in it, so I'm let to believe that he used parts of tickling illustrations from the 1920's literature. Very interesting, because I never thought there was any of this stuff around back then. I'll try to find out more about this.
I've got a friend who knows more about Max Ernst, and he has that book too, I believe. I'll ask him.

I checked that link (that came with the picture), and indeed, it is a collage by Max Ernst (from the very book I already talked about). The text however, doesn't seem to be related to the picture (Being Dutch, I can make out a little from the German text). "Kitzler" could be translated as "Tickler" and the text probably says something about this, but I think the Max Ernst picture was just put on the same page as an illustration.

Thanks!
Actually I was able to decipher about author, I was thinking about original art and storie behind, if you can find it it will be great.
Looks to me like some old storie or urban legend ilustration, like storie about englishmen tickling his wife until she went crazy

this two drawings.

..and you thought finding TK art was difficult in the 1980s... the 1890s must have been rare to the extreme, but, sure as shit, there were just as many fetishists then.

Absutely correct!
What I hope for is occasional finding of such art from the past 🙂

Once I've found woodcut of supplice de chevre ...
but there was no context about this woodcut,picture is there but storie is missing.
