syrup Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Harris's List of Covent Garden Ladies; also known as The Man of Pleasures Kalender. Description only annual register between 1760-93 describing the faces, figures, manners and special talents of the Covent Garden Ladies who patronized his house. http://historyplanet.wordpress.com/category/articles-long/ Harris’s List instantly became a best seller, over a quarter of a million copies in its thirty eight year run, making one of the best read publications of its era. What made Harris’s List so remarkable was its author in the early years: Sam Derrick. More than just an adult directory Derrick set about his bold endeavour with both love & vigour to give a stunning window to Georgian London.
