The Pearl is a collection of 18 erotic tales, rhymes, songs and parodies in magazine form that were published in London between July 1879 to Demcember 1880, when they were forced to shut down by the authorities for publishing rude and obscene literature.
Rhymes, songs and parodies
The Pearl published limericks under the label 'Nursery Rhymes'. The heading is facetious, as their content would certainly not be appropriate for the nursery. The following example was included in The Pearl, Issue Nº 1, July 1879.
- There was a young man from Peru,
- Who had nothing whatever to do;
- So he took out his carrot
- And fucked his parrot,
- And sent the result to the zoo.
