The Pearl - A Journal of Facetiae and Voluptuous Reading - No. 17

Set in the backdrop of Victorian high society, this collection features erotic tales, songs, and parodies that explore themes of sexuality, flagellation, and incest. The magazine, published by William Lazenby, faced legal challenges leading to its closure in 1880, yet it remains a significant work in the realm of erotic fiction. With a variety of provocative pieces, this modern edition includes a new introduction detailing the history of erotic literature, catering to collectors and enthusiasts of vintage erotic works.
