The Pearl - A Journal of Facetiae and Voluptuous Reading - No. 4

The fourth installment of a provocative magazine, published in late 19th-century London, features a collection of erotic tales, songs, and parodies centered on themes like high society, flagellation, and incest. Following its forced closure due to obscenity laws, the creator, William Lazenby, continued with similar works. This volume includes stories such as "La Rose D'amour" and "Lady Pokingham," appealing to enthusiasts of vintage erotic fiction. A modern edition now includes a new introduction exploring the history of erotic literature.
