The Erotika Biblion Society was a pornographic publishing imprint in Victorian London formed by Harry Sidney Nichols and Leonard Smithers in 1888. They formed their name from Erotika Biblion the 1783 nonfiction treatise of the same name under the penmanship of the Comte de Mirabeau. One of their most notable publications was Teleny, or The Reverse of the Medal, thought to have been written by Oscar Wilde. The venture ended in 1907, after the death of Smithers.
