The chambers and furniture were observed by two Wehrmacht officers in 1941, but they appear to have gone since then. According to a documentary by Peter Woditsch, the cabinet was located at Peterhof Palace rather than Gatchina.The sexual prints in this collection are among the very few such pieces that have been preserved from the 16th century, when a major development in printing technology permitted a wider range of collectors to follow their specialized interests than ever before.

In this pencil and watercolor sketch, three women couple with a prostrate man, his head hidden between the thighs of the woman on the right.
