La Goulue / Louise Josephine Weber

Rule34, that was made famous by 4chan, states that "if it exists, then there's porn of it. no exceptions". Of course, this rule is not new - in fact, if we look at Stone Age art, we see that most of it is porn.

Photography was invented a little less than 200 years ago, but it only became popular aroud the 1880s - and, as Rule34 implies, a huge market for it was nude pictures of pretty ladies and pr0n. Most of these girls are anonymous. But probably the first non-anon girl whose pictures survived the time is La Goulue.

La Goulue, meaning "The Glutton", artistic name of Louise Joséphine Weber, b.1866-07-12, d.1929-01-30, was a french can-can dancer and nude model. She had a turbulent life, with many lovers (boys and girls), among them Emilienne d'Alencon and Môme Fromage.
