With eye pressed to the keyhole of M’Lady’s boudoir door,
    the butler spied lace stocking tops and frilly underwear.
    Daguerreotypes revealed much more than what old Simpson saw,
    a flash of leg, a bosom bare, a glimpse of pubic hair.

    Licentious stereoscopy, hand cranking mutoscopes,
    led fantasising gentlemen in search of sex much purer.
    A penny bought the peep shows housed within kinetoscopes,
    while the Lords could masturbate for free inside camera obscuras.
