Letters from a Friend in Paris

In boudoirs and bordellos, studios and set pieces, photographer Harry Hargrove will experience the most debauched recesses of Parisian high society.

From his photographic studio in Paris, Harry recounts in sumptuously graphic detail the licentious practices that go on in front of as well as behind the lens. Enamoured by Louisa, a lithe young beauty of care free spirit and a charming naivete, our protagonist is eager to educate the girl in all those forbidden deeds and devices she so has yet to experience. And in return Harry will provide her with pictures of her beau Tom in all his uprising, uncovered glory.

In his letters to his friend Charles, Harry describes the many acts he has the profound pleasures of witnessing and partaking, from bi-sexual menages, to lesbian tribadism, gamahuching a plenty, and copious couplings with young and old alike. No act or aperture is spared in this wonderful collection of libidinous correspondence.

Anonymously written in 1874, this rare gem of Victorian erotic brims with a piquant naughtiness and is a worthy edition to any collection of the once-forbidden.
