Abstract
Early films created new representations of the sexualised body and provided new opportunities for erotic viewing. Focussing on the 1896 film, A Victorian Lady in her Boudoir, this articles analyses this genre of ‘strip’ films in relation to perceptions of audience response and historical definitions of obscenity and taste. The film is described in the article as the culmination of historical developments concerning technology, movement and the body and as a demonstration of the erotic power of the new moving image medium.
