        abstract = {The 19th century regulation of commercial sex
was a nearly all European municipal initiative. The city
of Brussels offers a classic example as well as extensive source material, which has made it possible to
trace the history of the closed "system" of prostitution
installed by regulation, from its beginnings in 1844 to
its defacto downfall in 1877. A comprehensive view is
given of its daily reality and of the identity of the
people involved (prostitutes and brothel - keepers). The
conclusion is that the implementation of this policy has
never lived up to its high standards.}
