The Pearl - A Journal of Facetiae and Voluptuous Reading - No. 16

Set in the late 19th century, this collection features a range of erotic tales and poems that explore themes of high society, flagellation, and incest. Originally published by William Lazenby, the magazine faced legal challenges that led to its closure in 1880. This edition includes notable pieces like "Miss Coote's Confession" and "The Budding Rose," appealing to enthusiasts of vintage erotic fiction. A new introduction provides historical context, making it a valuable addition for collectors and fans of the genre.
