Harris's List of Covent Garden Ladies

Or, Man of Pleasure's Kalender
Book • 2005
Harris's List of Covent Garden Ladies was a notorious annual publication from 1757 to 1795, cataloging London's prostitutes with vivid descriptions of their appearance, services, and prices.

It became a scandalous yet popular guide for gentlemen seeking pleasure in Georgian London.

The list was likely inspired by Jack Harris, a self-proclaimed 'Pimp-General of All England', and was associated with Samuel Derrick, a struggling poet and writer.
