    I guess that’s as close as we get to a time machine.

    Someone emailed me and said it would be a far more interesting post if it had been about the world’s oldest pornograph.

    Well, that one photograph was of sculptures and I’m pretty sure one of them was a naked lady. Does that count?

    And where are all those French pictures supposedly used to titillate the English gentlemen on their Grand Tour. Surely some of them would have been in the oldest category. :-)

    Less than a year after Daguerre introduced his photographic process in 1839 someone was arrested for pornography in Paris.
