The Pearl - A Journal of Facetiae and Voluptuous Reading - No. 5

Set in the late 19th century, this volume of "The Pearl" features a collection of erotic tales, songs, and parodies that explore themes of sex, high society, and taboo subjects like flagellation and incest. Published by William Lazenby, the magazine was notorious for its explicit content, leading to its closure in 1880. This modern edition includes notable works such as "La Rose D'amour" and "Lady Pokingham," along with a new introduction discussing the history of erotic literature, making it a valuable addition for collectors and enthusiasts of vintage erotic fiction.
