Kaartspelende vrouwen in ondergoed rond tafel c. 1890 - 1910

This stereoscopic photograph, "Kaartspelende vrouwen in ondergoed rond tafel", by Wilhelm Frederick Antonius Delboy, is a classic example of the suggestive and voyeuristic imagery popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The image depicts four women in their underwear, seated around a table playing cards, captured in a candid moment. The use of the stereoscopic format enhances the viewer's sense of being present in the scene, adding to the voyeuristic element. Delboy, known for his suggestive and often controversial work, was a Dutch photographer who captured the social and cultural landscape of his time, often pushing the boundaries of acceptable subject matter.
