Your Head Trucker is out of the loop, so he just now discovered that two Texas guys. Hugh Nini and Neal Treadwell, have recently published a high-quality book containing hundreds of old photographs of male couples from the 1850s to the 1950s. Sweet. Signed copies of the book, as well as selected prints, can be purchased on their website here.
Some of the photos have circulated on the internet for many years, but others are new discoveries. I understand that all the photos were scanned in ultra-high resolution prior to publication. Not all of these couples were necessarily gay - though some very obviously were - but on the whole, it's a delightful record of a century of male couples in loving poses.
First, here's how Hugh and Neal met:
And here's how they started their collection:
And this is a video sampler of some of the 3000-plus photographs in the collection:
Apparently, a documentary film is in the works, but I can't find it on YouTube yet.
