| Jan 9, 2011 at 15:11 | comment | added | John Satta | @GaspardMonge - I suspect it's related to photography and thus is late 18th / early 19th century - but that is a complete guess. The wikipedia glamour photography article I cited above mentions "French postcards" and "pinups of the 1900s". Victorian sounds plausible. | |
