blurb
This book contains a large collection of amateur and professional photographs of prostitutes who worked in the trade from 1865 to 1920. Some ladies are fully clothed; others are fully nude; a number are somewhere in between. By today’s standards some of these women are very attractive but others are not. They are all actual soiled doves that made their living exchanging sexual pleasure for money. These photographs, collected over the last 12 years, vary in quality. Photographic processing in the late 1800s and early 1900s was not a perfected medium and many of the photographs have deteriorated since that time. Accompanying each picture is a statement about prostitution or the prostitutes who engaged in the world’s oldest profession during the time period.
