I have an interesting exhibition catalogue about Hungarian photography and the origins of photojornalism. It discusses what it terms 'little moments', and how photographing small scenes of everyday life was a strong theme of early Hungarian photography, which found its way to the rest of the world in the 1920s and 30s when there was an exodus of Hungarians under political pressure and led to the formation of many of the best know press agencies and the use of the Leica for its unobtrusiveness. The detective camera served a similar role, although it seems that the photographer in the link preferred it more the Victorian equivalent of 'upskirting' and papping!
