Courtship Ritual

This very odd series of photos is from the Library of Congress's stereograph collection. I can't help thinking that when they were made (1906) they must have been thought of as impossibly salacious if not downright obscene. Who was the audience for these?

 "It's your move."

  

 "Now dear you know I don't snore."

  

"Slow! Well I'll beat you yet."
