Before ‘Playboy’ there were these erotic “French Postcards”

In the early days of the twentieth century, pornography was “a bit” more forbidden than it is today. In fact, you could be jailed in America for the production and distribution of erotic photos. However, man will be man and a loophole was found. These “erotic” postcards were brought over from France and distributed illegally for the viewing pleasure of our forefathers. Though, it looks like the definition of ‘erotic’ has changed quite a bit over the past 100 years.
