The key word is "photo" and all that matters is what is recorded by the camera, so it greatly depends on the recording equipment. I hope you are not trying to say that 19th century photography was as good as 21st century photography.

Even in non pornographic photography the skill is in the eye and head of the shooter. Knowing what to shoot and when to click is far more important than knowing how the camera works or having one that does a lot of the thinking for you.
The difference in image quality is way higher today, but not image content. An artist is an an artist, using a box brownie or the latest digital camera.
My brother, now he's retired is taking a masters degree in photography at university. His images a great, not because he has a kick ass camera, but because he has an eye and a mind to know what to shoot.
