Selected from Danny Moynihans compendium of 19th Century erotica, Private Collection, Other Criteria has for sale 3 sets of 4 exclusive prints, ranging from the artistic to the bawdy to the overtly fetishistic. On display are some of the earliest examples of erotic photography, proving the Victorians had no less sexual appetite or adventurousness than the pleasure-seekers in todays society.
On the surface, the photographs seem to exude a sense of quaintness or humour, yet scratch beneath and a world of forgotten immorality and vice is laid bare. Private Collection, with its rich assemblage of obscure, exotic imagery, displays a pivotal period in not only the history of pornography but in the development of photography itself, and how it has been used to satisfy societys deepest, secret desires.
