That is always nice to hear. / Antiques Roadshow Host: That it bears an 1839 stamp from the Carl Dauthendey Studio may well prove it to be the first piece of photographic erotica ever produced. Have you any idea as to its value? Any idea at all? / Ray: Well, I figure that since the lady is about to get spanked it might be worth more to certain-- / Antiques Roadshow Host: (interrupting) Mr. Smuckles, I estimate that at auction this piece would fetch over six hundred million dollars.
