Before there was an Internet, a rich English-speaking gentleman visiting Paris could make his selection using this handy booklet...

Makes me almost want to like Napoleon compared to some of the "enlightened" leadership we enjoy today...

and BTW, would the Paris review board have been called 'PERB' ???

No, it's already taken by the Pacific Escort Review Board

...Which courtesan would you chose ?

A few of them remind me of my granny's pictures. But if I had to choose, I'd go with Alice Loady, who according to the ad, "...will do all you may ask her". That's some 19th century gfe, right there, lol.

In and around 1900 not every house had a bathtub or toilet. A bath was a 3 or 4 time event in those days, and the lube provided was from Mr. 1st Cum-du-jour.
