Loving: A Photographic History of Men in Love 1850s-1950s

A groundbreaking visual narrative that unveils a previously unpublished collection of hundreds of tender and moving photographs depicting romantic love between men. Spanning a century, this collection features snapshots, portraits, and group photos captured in both private and public settings from around the world, including the United States, France, Germany, Japan, and more.

These intimate images, often discovered in flea markets, old suitcases, and family archives, offer a poignant glimpse into the lives of men whose love was often hidden due to societal constraints. Recognized by their subtle body language and the unmistakable look in their eyes, these couples' stories are told through a variety of photographic techniques, including ambrotypes, daguerreotypes, glass negatives, and photo postcards.
