Charming and hilarious, but fake. It's a novelty item printed to look antique- biggest giveaways are the American dollars and "novelty" name for the brothel owner- F. A. Tasse. A madame at that period would not have had such a punning, bawdy name- it's vaudeville humor.

NO. I refuse to believe that. Stop dumping on my love of this!

That would be 1.25.

It's still old, just not authentic. It's a vintage piece of raunchy tourist merchandise, like an old-fashioned variant on the kind of things one would find at an Ocean City souvenir shop.

That almost makes it more charming to me.

I want to go find this place next time I'm in London.

Can anybody tell me where in London I can find Twenty-second street?

Where does one find a goose quill these days?

On 22nd Street in London.

How preposterous.

As if they had brothels in London in 1912!

Hilarious! To be honest I'm not sure what a brothel menu from 2014 looks like..!

Are brothels your thing?
