The Pearl - A Journal of Facetiae and Voluptuous Reading - No. 7

Set in the backdrop of Victorian London, this seventh installment of a notorious erotic magazine features a collection of provocative tales, songs, and parodies centered on themes of high society, flagellation, and incest. Following its controversial closure in 1880 due to obscenity laws, the magazine's publisher, William Lazenby, continued to explore similar themes in subsequent works. This volume not only captivates fans of vintage erotic fiction but also includes a new introduction detailing the history of erotic literature, making it a valuable addition for collectors.
