A scandalous and titillating glimpse into 18th-century London, Harris's List of Covent Garden Ladies, or Man of Pleasure's Kalendar for the Year, 1788, offers a unique and often humorous look at the world of prostitution in England. Published anonymously, this infamous list provides descriptions of the ladies of the night, their perceived charms, and supposed specialties.

More than just a catalog of names, Harris's List serves as a fascinating social document, revealing aspects of London life, societal attitudes toward sexuality, and the economics of the sex trade during this period. Its enduring appeal lies in its candid, often witty, portrayal of a hidden world. While the subject matter is inherently adult, the text offers valuable insights into the social history of England. This meticulously prepared print edition allows readers to experience this controversial and compelling text for themselves.
