TitledThree Homosexual Men, this early erotic photograph, though faint, is a welcome addition to this collection, as genuinely pornographic content from the era is regrettably (though perhaps understandably) a little scarce!
Those of you wishing to find more delightfully dirty 19th century and Edwardian treats might like to revisit the early pages of my blog, or peruse this tag specially marking out the most salacious century-old smut and explicit Victorian pornography for your viewing pleasure!)

This remains one of my favourite vintage photos of all time, there’s nothing I don’t find completely beautiful and fascinating about this shot and those lovely, lovely models.

Boys in Drag, 1885-1900

No better or more lovely way to start posting this new collection than with the very photograph which first got me interested in finding these. I adore this picture, this and all the others I’ve found of the same two beautiful boys can be found here

A pretty abysmal quality scan, but this is a single stray photograph from the Arabian Nights set posted previously, it seems to have escaped and got left out, and I couldn’t leave the poor lonely thing all forlorn and uncollected now, could I!

Somehow I have thus far neglected to post this photograph of Those French Boys, despite having first seen it months ago. There are a few more from this 1880’s photoshoot, I shall endeavor to bring you the full set eventually.

The Mysterious Sex Appeal of Gabriele D'Annunzio - Rogues Gallery Online.

Multi talented, charismatic and a bit of a Fascist, Gabriele D'Annunzio bedded over 1000 women (Marchesa Luisa Casati, Ida Rubinstein, Liane de Pougy, Isadora Duncan, Eleonora Duse, Luisa Baccara, Nathalie de Goloubeff, Franca Florio). His sensual secrets will amaze you.

Marchesa Luisa Casati had a long term affair with the author Gabriele D'Annunzio, who is said to have based on her the character of Isabella Inghirami in Forse che si forse che no (Maybe yes, maybe no) (1910).
