"Harris's List of Covent Garden Ladies" by Anonymous is an annual directory published from 1760 to 1794. This pocket-sized guidebook catalogued prostitutes working in Georgian London, describing their physical appearance, sexual specialties, and prices in colorful, erotic prose. Sold for two shillings and sixpence with an estimated circulation of 8,000 copies annually, it catered to middle-class clientele seeking companionship in Covent Garden. The publication ceased after its creators faced prosecution in 1795 as public opinion turned against London's sex trade.
