Harris's List of Covent-Garden Ladies was published annually between the years 1757 and 1795 as a directory for gentlemen seeking the services of ladies of negotiable virtue in and around the Covent Garden area of London.

As part of my ongoing 'Making Historical Sources Accessible' project, I have added the 1788 version to my website pascalbonenfant.com.

By turns funny, tragic and downright bitchy, it provides some fascinating insights into the fair ladies practising the oldest profession in Georgian London.

Taking my own advice (see earlier posts), I have divided it into separate web pages, one for each of the ladies.

If you want some real insights into how gentleman rakes viewed women, or if you simply want to have some fun, just dive in and enjoy.
