What The Butler Saw by Chaovsky

Artist's Comments
The Mutoscope, invented in 1895, was an early form of coin-operated motion picture device which worked on the same principle as the "flip book." The individual image frames were conventional black-and-white, silver-based photographic prints on tough, flexible opaque cards.

The patron viewed the cards, which were generally lit electrically, through a single lens enclosed by a hood. Each machine held only a single reel and was dedicated to the presentation of a single short subject, described by a poster affixed to the machine.

Mutoscopes were a popular feature of amusement arcades and pleasure piers in the UK until the introduction of decimal coinage in 1971 made the mechanisms obsolete. Both in the early days and during the revival, the themes usually included "girlie" reels which ran the gamut from risqué to outright soft-core pornography.

The title of one such reel, What the Butler Saw, became a by-word for shameful secrets or voyeurism, and Mutoscopes are commonly known in England as "What-the-Butler-Saw machines.
