In the early days of photography enterprising women were selling sexy pics to men - just as they do today via Onlyfans today.

164 years ago an article titled ‘Abuse of Photography’ reported on a Paris police bust and arrest of two men and eight women for trading in ‘obscene photographs.’

Daily News London, England 12 Sep 1857, Sat • Page 2

The prosecutor stated the women were making so much money that fines were feckless and “would certainly be paid by their admirers” - so he sentenced the “more or less pretty” women to jail time. The story would appear in papers around the world.
