Untitled daguerreotype, likely Bruno Braquehais, c. 1852

A little later a thousand hungry eyes were bending over the peep-holes of the stereoscope, as though they were the attic-windows of the infinite. The love of pornography, which is no less deep-rooted in the natural heart of man than the love of himself, was not to let slip so fine an opportunity of self-satisfaction. 

– Charles Baudelaire, On Photography, 1859
