Ever since the invention of photography, ladies dressed and undressed have been among the favourite subjects of the gents behind the lenses. In the prudish Dark Ages of the 19th century, when permissiveness was yet to come, erotic photographs were already being taken - in feverish privacy, needless to say - and were sold in much the same way as the naughty drawings and engravings of previous centuries. Not till after the First World War did things begin to change. Finally, the corset of conventional morality was eased.

汽车的出现让男士们除了考虑女人之外，还需要考虑其他事情。但女士们接受了这一挑战，汽车车身成为她们在20年代的乡村旅行中的完美背景。

自从摄影术发明以来，女士们穿衣和脱衣一直是镜头后面的男士们最喜欢的主题之一。在19世纪那个谨慎的黑暗时代，当允许性尚未到来时，人们已经开始拍摄色情照片--不用说，是在狂热的隐私中--并以与前几个世纪的调皮画和雕刻品相同的方式出售。直到第一次世界大战后，情况才开始发生变化。最后，传统道德的束缚被放松了。
