Paris was a congenial atmosphere for Cadoo's interest in erotica. It was there that he created the work for which he is best known: dust jackets commissioned by Barney Rosset's Grove Press and similar publishers of barricade-storming literature, as well as portfolios for the Evergreen Review. Cadoo illustrated a memorable 1963 edition of Henry Miller's Sexus. It was in Paris that he published the homoerotic book Hommes, in which his photographs were accompanied by a Paul Verlaine poem, Mille et Tres.
