[1787 Edition] Mrs Nancy W—dg-r, at a Perfumer’s in Rathbone Place. Is an unexperienced dame, having just left her friends in Hampshire; she appears to be a well meaning girl, has natural sense, but by no means cunning enough for her present profession. #18thcentury #georgianera #perfumers #london

[1786 Edition] Miss L-c-s, 18 Queen Ann Street East. How strangely checquer’d is the scene of life, Thro’ which the ruin’d girl is forc’d to stray; Now buoy’d by hope, now sinking in despair, And blindly seeking the precarious way. #18thcentury #georgianera #18thcenturylondon #eastindiacompany

[1783 Edition] Miss Th-mp--n, at Brown’s Hotel, Goodman’s Fields. Reclin’d upon a couch the maiden lay, And all her Virgin Charms expos’d to view; I saw them all, unseen, and in her eyes, Read the mad language of untaught desire. #18thcentury #georgianera #18thcenturylondon #goodmansfields

[1787 Edition] Miss L-nf-rd, 11 Glanville Street. [She] may have her desires indeed, but is not to be approached with effrontery, or taken by storm, but rather with respect, and seems to surrender to merit only, though she has the address to get money with her merit. #georgianera #18thcentury
