I don't know, but this 1892 Sherlock Holmes quotation is one of my favourites:
"It is my belief, Watson, founded upon my experience, that the lowest and vilest alleys in London do not present a more dreadful record of sin than does the smiling and beautiful countryside.”

We were exploring the events of 1885, when a series of scandals led to changes in sexual offences law. The Women's Library at @lselibrary.bsky.social has lots of relevant archival material, some of which was on display 😍
