More info

Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre took the first photograph using the process that would later come to be known by his name in 1837, and two years later the French government patented the daguerréotype process for public use.  From that point on, photography’s popularity exploded in France and it quickly included the nude.  In the late 1840s, some of the great photographers of the day, like Félix Moulin, Gustave Le Gray and Charles Nègre, were already experimenting with the nude. The French Postcards of the 1920s are part of a long history of nude photographic imagery in France.
