The Pearl - A Journal of Facetiae and Voluptuous Reading - No. 2

Set in the context of late 19th-century London, this second installment of a provocative magazine features a collection of erotic tales, songs, and parodies focused on themes of high society, flagellation, and incest. Following its legal shutdown in 1880 for obscenity, the magazine's creator, William Lazenby, went on to publish similar works. This edition includes notable stories such as "Miss Coote's Confession" and "Lady Pokingham," and is aimed at enthusiasts of vintage erotic literature, now enhanced with a new introduction on its historical significance.
