historium:

Hedy Lamarr from the film Ecstasy, 1933

Ecstasy was highly controversial in its time because of scenes in which Lamarr swims in the nude and runs through the countryside naked. It is also perhaps the first non-pornographic movie to portray sexual intercourse and female orgasm, although never showing more than the actors’ faces. The film was celebrated as the first motion picture to include a nude scene, rather than the first to show sexual intercourse, for which it has a better claim.

Le Frou-Frou

Cover illustration by Lucien-Henri Weiluc.
The Frou-Frou -the onomatopoeia related to the sound of moving dresses and lingerie- was a light-hearted, satirical and vaguely risqué weekly newspaper published between 1900 and 1923 in France. It benefited from a lot of the best illustrators of the Belle Epoque, including a young Picasso.
