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.
