The Pearl - A Journal of Facetiae and Voluptuous Reading - No. 1

Set in the late 19th century, this magazine features a collection of erotic tales, songs, and parodies centered on themes of high society, flagellation, and incest. Published by William Lazenby, it faced legal challenges leading to its closure in 1880. The work is notable for its provocative content and is part of a lineage of erotic literature that includes Lazenby's subsequent publications. With a modern edition and a new introduction on erotic literature's history, it caters to collectors and enthusiasts of vintage erotic fiction.
