Old Fashioned Peep Show

A man looks through the viewer of an 1890-1909 vintage 'clamshell' mutoscope motion picture viewer which plays the erotic film 'French Swing,' United States, 1940s. Other titles available on pay-per-view at adjacent machines include Chamber of Love,' Nude Kisses,' and 'Girls of Spain.' Mutoscope machines display a series of cards in a hand-cranked, flipbook-like manner once a coin is dropped into the slot to engage the mechanism. They were a popular medium of early pornography.
