Original post text was “There is a lot of kinky shit happening in this scene on the cover of Sinister Stories” and provided the source for the image here. Image contains the text “Sinister Stories.

Finest harem whiskey
According to Wikimedia Commons, which also has an ultra-high-resolution image of it, this advertising poster art dates from 1883. The image contains the text “Belle of Nelson Old Fashion Handmade Sour Mash Whiskey. Distilled by the Belle of Nelson Distillery Co., Louisville, KY. Copyright Secured. Wells & Hope Co. Phila. PA”. The poster was based quite closely on the orientalist painting Pool In A Harem by Jean-Léon Gérôme, which is on display in the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia.

Сатирическое Обозрѣніе
This is the cover of Satirical Review (Сатирическое Обозрѣніе) No. 1 from 1906, which (according to this article) comes out of a rich history of satirical journalism in the Russian underground press. The article suggests that the image was recently published in a book called Blood and Laughter: Caricatures from the 1905 Revolution. Text visible in this image reads “Цѣна 10к въ Спъ, 1906. Въ пров. 12к. №1/ Сатирическое Обозрѣніе.” There is also an artist’s signature in script visible lower right that I believe reads “леван”. Issue #3 of the same publication has similarly bizarre cover art as seen in this post.

This film sounds kinda cool, but it really is pretty awful.
