‘Beautiful Ghosts’ Collection of Mid Century Photography

Beautiful Ghosts Series of Mid Century Found & Anonymous Photographs.

A selection of vintage, authentic photographs from my private collection.

This particular specific grouping of vintage male photography, postcards & misc items, originates from the archives of an elderly gay gentleman who passed in his early nineties. I believe sharing this collection in this manner, pays homage to a period when men secretly loved one another. Enjoy !
