I love this shot.
I think that we all have the guilty pleasure of Voyeurism. Some say this is a perverted sexuality.
Hitchcock used this in many of his films.
Rear Window/Psycho are notable ones where the central male leads watching other people's lives without being noticed.
As for talcum powder in the bath shot, it's still being used with grommets under the hood of many LP12s.

From 1864, by Julia Margaret Cameron. I think it is absolutely splendid.
