Les toutes premières images ne sont que des paysages ou des reproductions d’objets. Difficile en effet de réaliser des nus ou des portraits lorsqu’un temps de pose de plusieurs minutes est nécessaire. En peu de temps, cette durée est ramenée à quelques dizaines de secondes. Le procédé s’internationalise mais la France conserve son hégémonie, en particulier pour la photographie érotique qui est apparue immédiatement. Les premiers nus ont dû être réalisés dès 1840.

The first nudes must have been taken as early as 1840.

The Story of Lingerie (Part 2)
Many women indulge in lingerie to please men. Yet, ever since Antiquity, women have always kept lingerie hidden away under outer garments. Thus, lingerie must be more than erotic bait.
