Just what the title says.

King Edward VII of England had erotic photographic calling cards of himself made up so that he could given them to young women that he hoped to take as mistresses. These cards are unbelievably rare as almost all were destroyed by court officials after he became king in 1901. There is known to be at least one in the British Museum's sealed stacks, and there are rumors of one held by the descendents of Alice Keppel, one of the king's last mistresses. Rumor has it that the Keppel copy has both tear stains and lipstick on it. It is claimed that Edward had the Prince Albert modification of his genitalia, but that is a matter of dispute as some claim that it is just a scratch on the photo plate.
